Osinbajo can contest against Tinubu, journalist sends important message to vice president
Meanwhile, a direct message has been sent to Osinbajo. The message was sent by Dayo Williams, a journalist with a news medium.
In a tacit post on his Facebook Page Williams claims there is nothing wrong if a beneficiary contests against his benefactor.
This was in apparent reference to the mooted ambition of Osinbajo and the now declared aspiration of his benefactor and former principal, Tinubu.
According to Williams, those claiming that a beneficiary cannot contest against his or her principal were wrong.
He wrote:
"I find this issue of no beneficiary should dare contest against his benefactor tasteless and crude. The proponents of this argument are mostly supporters of Bola Tinubu."
Going further, he cited instances in which politicians went against the wishes of their principals.
