Information reaching 247ureports.com indicates that the former military dictator of Nigeria and the All Progressive Congress [APC] presidential flag bearer, General Buhari has picked his running mate – in the person of Professor Osibanjo of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. With the announcement of Prof Osibanjo as his running mate, new information on the selected running mate has begun to sip into the public terrain on the person of the running mate – suggesting a fractured credibility.
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.It is recalled that Prof Osibanjo had served as the lead legal counsel to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar in his petition against the election of President Jonathan’s former boss, late President Umar Yar’Adua. Available information indicates that Prof. Osibanjo betrayed the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
According to available information, Prof Osibanjo allegedly connived with Wole Olanipekun who was the lead legal counsel to the then President Yar’Adua – to subvert the legal process and to derail Atiku’s Abubakar’s chances of possible victory at the Supreme Court. Interestingly, Osibanjo was seconded as Yar’Adua’s Chief Legal Consultant on the advice of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Prof Osibanjo is reported to be Tinubu’s candidate for the vice presidential slot.
In a related development, the Governor Rotimi Amaechi’s camp appear unhappy with the new developments within the APC. Particularly, the Governor of Rivers State is angry with General Buhari and Bola Tinubu over their choice of Osibanjo. A reliable source disclosed that Gov. Rotimi Amaechi’s camp considers the development as a colossal loss – particularly from the financial investment made by the Governor of Rivers State.
It remains unsure if the grumblings within the party will result to the possible decampment of involved personalities.
