Professor Yemi Osinbajo

As a series of presidential contenders continued to surface, coupled with double-dealings, schemings that may clearly be seen as a build-up for the 2023 general elections, contrary to mere insinuations of the possible emergence of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo in the coming days, I’m still at loose on whether the Vice President will aspire to be president or otherwise.

With the declarations of Asiwaju Bola Ahmad Tinubu, Sen. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, gov. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, gov. Yahya Bello, ex-governor of Imo State, Owella Rochas Okorocha and more, one needs to ask as to where lies Osinbajo’s presidential declaration.

Though, the fortune seems very much little for someone to decide on whom might luck runs to him in the next general elections. The sudden rise of numerous presidential hopefuls must no doubt led many to await Osinbajo’s emergence. One might eventually posit that, if not now, when will Osinbajo announce his interest in the 2023 presidential seat?

Regardless of the fact that there is still enough time for this revelation, but to me the atmosphere seems right now. Or else, Is Osinbajo desirous of the calls to vie for the presidential seat?  Most importantly, someone with capabilities like Osinbajo, one would have expected at this time to know the fate of Osinbajo in 2023? Prof Yemi Osinbajo with dogged potentialities, meritorious and vigorous determination, I believed, his declaration will no doubt give directions as to what the 2023 elections might unfold.

A politician with Osinbajo’s calibre shouldn’t leave his enthusiastic admirers in the dark while activities towards the 2023 elections are daily gathering momentum. Many Nigerians are ready to canvass numerous votes for Osinbajo in case he declares his intention to run for President. Considering the vital roles he played in social investment programs of this administration, coupled with endorsements he received from well-meaning Nigerians, Prof Osinbajo may definitely get the support of all geopolitical zones of this country. Hearsays heard that Kwankwaso may decamp to All Progressives Congress and vie for Vice Presidential seat with Professor Yemi Osinbajo. This may actually happen if Tinubu agrees to drop his presidential bid.

The president dissolved the council and approved the removal of the institution’s vice-chancellor Bernard Odoh and the university registrar, Rosemary Nwokike.

A statement by Bayo Onanuga, the special adviser to the president on information and strategy said the action by Tinubu follows allegations of procedural violations in the appointment of the Vice-Chancellor.

He also said that the council led by Greg Ozumba Mbadiwe and including five other members—Hafiz Oladejo, Augustine Onyedebelu, Engr. Amioleran Osahon, and Rtd. Gen. Funsho Oyeneyin was accused of bypassing due process to appoint an unqualified candidate, prompting federal intervention.

Onanuga said, “The sacking of the governing council and officials followed reports that the council illegally appointed an unqualified vice-chancellor without following due process.

He added that following the controversial appointment, the Federal Government stepped in to address the rivalry between the university’s Senate and the governing council of the institution.

“The government expressed concern over the council’s apparent disregard for the university’s governing laws in its selection process”, Onanuga added.
