Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has called on people of the South West to vote en-masse for President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term in 2019 so that the region can produce the next president in 2023.
Osinbajo made this known after a house-to-house visit at Oyo Alaafin and a meeting with the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III on Saturday.
The vice president further said that Buhari deserved a second term because those working to supplant him were “looters”.
He said, “My visit to Kabiyesi today is a homecoming. I have never seen an Oba with the political sagacity like the Alaafin. I know this is God-given because no university teaches that.
“Kabiyesi is a man of integrity; that’s why we are following and consulting him. Everybody here will agree with me that being a Yoruba leader is not easy. That’s why leaders like Senator Ahmed Tinubu consult him in our country.
“Yoruba have a lot to contribute to Nigeria for the 2019 elections. It is for us Yoruba; if you understand, it is for us. We are not looking at 2019, but 2023. If we don’t get it now, it may take some time again.
“We have to look forward to that; that is before us. Though there could be some challenges, but what I know about President Muhammadu Buhari is that he is an honest man. If he says he will do something, he will do it.
“If you love Nigeria, you will vote for Buhari. Corruption is the reason Nigeria is not growing, a reason why they don’t want Buhari. They are out again; they are looters. Don’t allow them.”
