Northern Youths Back Osinbajo Presidential Ambition

A group of northern youths under the aegis of “North-4-Osinbajo” has backed Vice President Yemi Osinbajo over his presidential ambition.

The group coordinator, Sani Mohammed, stated this at Saturday’s maiden rally in Jos. He noted that membership cuts across political parties ethnic and religious affiliations.

Mohammed described Osinbajo as a man of honour who has all it takes to move Nigeria forward.

He noted that as vice president, Osinbajo has contributed significantly to the growth of the nation’s economy and added that he will do better if he becomes the president.

He added that if Osinbajo emerged president, he would consolidate on the gains of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

According to Mohammed, “The North-4-Osinbajo is a northern political group that is conceptualised to push the ambition of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

“Our conviction as youths is borne out of the experience, expertise and commitment of the vice president.

“What endeared us and indeed most Nigerians to this gentle technocrat and academician is his passion and personal conviction to issues of welfare of Nigerians, security and opportunities.

“Having carefully consulted with the necessary individuals and groups, we have resolved to collectively and massively canvass support from both women and youths in the 19 northern states for Osinbajo,” he said.

The group coordinator further appealed to the leadership of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) to ensure that the vice president picked its presidential ticket for the 2023 general elections.

He also urged Nigerians at all levels to support Osinbajo’s bid to move the country forward.
