Osinbajo: It will be a betrayal if I don’t contest the 2023 presidency

By our reporter| “It will be a betrayal to Nigeria if I don’t contest the presidency in the 2023 general elections”, Vice president Yemi Osinbajo has said.

Osinbajo, who stated this during a visit to Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, explained that aside from his current position, having served as acting president for months has also given him the needed experience to lead Nigeria.

“Many people are dying for the country every day. If with all that has been given to me by the grace of God — all the experience — I now retire to Lagos or Ikenne to go and write my memoir, it would be a great injustice to this country,” Osinbajo said.

“Now the opportunity has come, with the experience that I have, the connection and contacts that I have both locally and internationally, it will be a betrayal to the country not to accept to serve the country.

“Nobody can be anything without the endorsement of God. I declare my intention based on the fact that I have served for over seven months as acting president. I was given very serious responsibility as an acting president.”

Responding to the Vice President, Akeredolu said the delegates from the state love and respect him but said it is God that enthrones.
