Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has disclosed how he will tackle the myriad of challenges facing Nigeria if he wins the 2023 presidential election.
Osinbajo said serving as the number two citizen has equipped him with the needed experience to steer the country away from the precipice and place it on the paths of growth and prosperity.
Osinbajo spoke when he visited the Asagba of Asaba, Professor Chike Edozien, at the palace, and delegates of the All Progressives Congress, to canvass for their votes.
He said, “Nigeria is in need of experienced leadership at this critical time, and having served as Vice President for seven years in governance, I’m in the best position to provide that leadership.
“If elected as president, I will apply everything to ensure that Nigeria occupies its pride of place that has become a manifest destiny. Your Majesty, I’m here to give you good news about my intention to run for President and to seek your blessings and prayer.”
Osinbajo said that the entry into the presidential race was divine, having sought the face of God.
In his remark, the Asagba of Asaba lamented that the Federal Government played a deaf ear to the request of establishing a Federal University in Asaba.
He also said that Federal Government had forgotten the Asaba community as he frowned at the continued blackout in Asaba and its environs.
The Monarch used the occasion to renew the advocacy that gave traditional rulers a constitutional role.
