2023: Osinbajo under pressure to dump APC, contest on other platform

Also recall that Osinbajo lost the APC presidential ticket to the party’s National Leader and former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the primaries on June 8, 2022.

Osinbajo was third in the primaries at the Eagle Square in Abuja, where a former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, came second.

But the source, who spoke with The Eagle Online on Thursday, said that Osinbajo is still under pressure to run.

The source said: “PYO is still under pressure to run for President. #itsnotoveruntilitsover.”

The Lawyer added: Gaskiya (truthfully), many parties and their presidential candidates are offering their slots.”

This invariably means dumping the APC for the party.

The source, however, refused to disclose the identities of the parties offering their tickets to the former Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice.

But another source, who was a part of the initial bid, said Osinbajo would not fall for the antics of those who intend “goading” him into the race again after he failed in the APC primaries.

The source said: “PYO is a loyal party member and will support the party’s choice.

“They pushed him to go ahead (with the initial bid) and still want him to contest.

“PYO won’t listen to them this time around.”
