Politics is serious engagement,
Barrack Obama did it the hard way and Yemi Osinbajo believes that he too can go
on the streets, buses and other public place to engage with ordinary Nigerians
and share the APC message of better deal for them ahead of Nigeria's battle
royale 2015 presidential election.The APC vice presidential candidate, Prof. Osinbajo, on Thursday said the country needed a man of integrity, such as the party’s flag bearer, General Muhamadu Buhari, to end corruption in the country.
Osinbajo, who joined passengers in the
Lagos BRT bus from the Tafawa Balewa Square to Barracks area of the state, urged Nigerians to vote for Buhari, saying the former military Head of State is the only one that can curb corruption and other serious issues threatening Nigeria at the moment.
While addressing passengers in the
bus, Osinbajo said he would utilise “unusual opportunities to reach out to
Nigerians on the need to vote out the PDP.”
He said, “Every Nigerian knows that General Buhari is a
no-nonsense person. He is going to make changes that would turn Nigeria around
for the better. Remember that the APC is the party of change. Collect your PVC
and ensure that you vote for the APC.
“The only way to make an omelet is to break an egg. You have to do something and I think that all of us, whatever it is that we are involved in must be interested in making a difference in this country. This country needs help desperately. Considering the economy and the security challenges, everyone of us must be involved in trying to get a change.”
While responding to a question by one of the BRT passengers, identified as Mfawa Edet, on whether Buhari was sponsoring Boko Haram, Osinbajo dismissed the allegations as “pure propaganda.” He noted that if Buhari was sponsoring the Boko Haram sect, they would not have attempted to kill him.
The arrival of Osinbajo at Barracks area of Lagos attracted some APC supporters and caused a mild gridlock on the road. Party supporters, who chanted solidarity songs, struggled to take photographs with him.
