VP Osinbajo Is Not A Betrayer

VP Osinbajo Is Not A Betrayer – Segun Dada.

VP YEMI OSHIBAJO.

Segun Dada, a national youth aspirant of the All Progressives Congress has fired a salvo at those claiming Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is a betrayer.

Dada, who was forced to step down for Dayo Israel at the APC convention on March 26th questioned the skewed reasoning that Osinbajo betrayed Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

“Lol. Just less than 3 weeks ago, these people shouting betrayal called it politics when they stabbed me in the back. How do you even have the moral authority to call the VP a betrayer? Lmaoooooo God abeg,” he wrote on his Twitter account.

His tweet has already started generating widespread acceptability.

Users on the platform reckon that the decision by the Vice President to declare for 2023 presidential election is not a betrayal by any strand of imagination.

Michael Lanre said:-

“Osinbajo didn’t betray Tinubu. He was only lucky to have been approved by Buhari to be the Vice President in 2015. Tinubu also positioned himself for the slot but it failed due to muslim-muslim ticket. He also submitted Fashola name.”

Mr President on Twitter wrote:-

“You people hate the truth. Know this and know peace… everyone will not support your candidate. The VP has his supporters .. we are all APC.. once the primaries produce a candidate then we will all support that candidate.. until then everyone is free to aspire and contest,” he said.

Dayo Olobayo argues that they are afraid of the VP and this is why they are blackmailing him. “That word rarely exist in politics. Let the public decide. Don’t stop a candidate from contesting. Don’t intimidate others to step down and let the electorate decide.
