Osinbajo Growing Campaign: Tinubu Camp Fumes Over Buhari’s Silence

The camp of the National Leader of the  All Progressives Congress, APC, has raised observations over what it, at the weekend, called the high profile political movements of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo  for the 2023 Presidential race which, it claimed, may have been sanctioned by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Sources in the Tinubu camp believe Osinbajo may be the secret weapon Buhari mentioned in his recent television interview.

The President had during the interview declined to name his candidate for the 2023 presidential election, saying the aspirant may came to harm if he did  so.

The complaint by the Tinubu camp came against the background of high level endorsements and gesticulations by canvassers of the Vice-President’s alleged 2023 presidential aspiration. The endorsements have been especially manifest in the North and recently moved downwards to the South with Delta State as its first launch pad.

The Tinubu camp, which has vowed not to raise the issue with the Presidency is, however, miffed  on  how Osinbajo’s name is being mentioned and projected everywhere for the 2023 presidential election with his boss, Buhari, looking the other way..

“You cannot tell me that the President does not know anything about this and that his deputy is being worked up to take his office and he is ignorant? No, no,” a highly placed confidant of Tinubu revealed on Saturday.

Sunday Vanguard reports that the Vice President’s spokesman, Laolu Akande, had, recently, denied reports that Osinbajo had, on New Year Day, visited the President to seek his blessing for the 2023 presidential election.

In rebuffing the reports, he said Osinbajo was fixed on delivering assignments as handed to him by the Buhari presidency.

However, the Tinubu camp remained nonplussed  over what it was alleging as a secret agenda with the source saying, “How can your subordinate be moving about like that as if you have anointed him for your office? You send him here and there to expose him?

“If you have a wife and she is misbehaving, who am I to complain when you the husband are indifferent? So, we will keep on watching.”
