The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC,Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu visited Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN at his residence Thursday evening.
Osinbajo had competed against Tinubu in the just concluded APC congress which held in Abuja where he won other contestants including the vice president with a wide margin.
Tinubu, had in his acceptance speech commended the vice president for his commitment towards national development, particularly his support for President Muhammadu Buhari.
He, however, alleged that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was waiting in the corner for the destruction of the APC, stating that they already got a coffin for APC.
Tinubu’s visit to the V.P will now put to rest the speculation that the former Lagos state Governor still holds issues against Osinbajo.
Meanwhile, the Vice President has congratulated Tinubu on his victory at the ruling All Progressives Congress Presidential Primaries.
Below is the full statement signed personally by the Vice President.
“I congratulate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his victory at our party primaries and his emergence as the Presidential Candidate and Flagbearer of our great party, the APC for the forthcoming 2023 Presidential Elections.
“I also congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari and all leaders of the APC for a successful Special Convention and Presidential Primary.
“For many decades, our flagbearer has shown passion, patriotism, courage and determination in the cause of nation building. His sterling contributions to our democracy and its progress stand him out. His wealth of experience will certainly be critical in our party’s continued efforts to attain a more secure and prosperous Nigeria.
“To all members of our great party, regardless of who you voted for at the primaries, we must now unite behind our presidential candidate and flagbearer to ensure victory for our party in the 2023 elections.
