Writing recently in the Leadership newspaper, Wole Olaoye, a public affairs commentator, noted that:
“To have a chance of retaining power, a pairing of Osinbajo with a Muslim running mate from the north, appears to be APC’s best bet, especially if he secures the full blessing of his boss, Buhari, and his godfather, the Jagaban himself.”

The letter was in response to the APC's recognition of the PCG as a support group within the party.
