The monarch, who doubles as the Chairman of Ogun Traditional Council, said:
“There is a lot of work involved. l can assure you that the professor knows what is right for this country, he knows what is right for himself and what’s right for the family.
“Just like you said, it is a request that you have asked me to put across, I will put it across. It does not cost me anything to put it across to him.
“There is a lot of issues in the interplay of Nigerian politics. Take it from me that that man is a very knowledgeable person. He knows what is right. He knows what he should do. What we need to do is to continue to pray for him that God will grant him wisdom to continue to do what’s right.
“I’m sure he would consider it and he is considering it. Fingers crossed. I’m sure he is going to give me a forthright and candid answer.”
The leader of the group, Dr. Sola Osindero, in his earlier remarks informed the monarch that members of the group are pure professionals who have found the vice president worthy to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari, on completion of his two terms in office.
He added that Osinbajo had all it takes to administer the country, considering his achievements as a renowned legal luminary, academia, and a politician with class.
