Youth group to buy nomination form for Osinbajo, says senator
The Chairman of the Progressive Project (TPP) – a pro-Osinbajo Presidential Campaign Organisation, Senator Kabiru Gaya, has said a youth group has expressed readiness to procure the All Progressives Congress’ (APC’s) expression of interest and nomination forms for Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, to pursue his presidential ambition.
Gaya told reporters in Abuja yesterday that the gesture was in recognition and a show of the depth of acceptability of Osinbajo among Nigerians, especially the youth.
Gaya, the Senate Committee chairman on INEC, said Osinbajo would not be intimidated to drop his presidential ambition, adding that “he is competent to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari after his tenure in May 2023.”
“Even an internal issue of the price of our party’s nomination form is being deliberately misinterpreted in some circles when we feel confident that, unlike moneybags, our truly populist candidate is popular enough to pool supporters’ token donations and raise such money with ease,” Gaya said.
