2023 presidency: Will Osinbajo contest against Tinubu? APC chieftain leaks party secret

Recall that Bwala, on Tuesday, February 8, said that vice president Yemi Osinbajo would not be contesting against the party's national leader, Bola Tinubu, at the 2023 general elections.

He said he was aware there is some atom of wisdom in the vice president not contesting for the presidency even as he (Osinbajo) ensures that any attempt at suggesting such is whittled down.

His words:

“He (Osinbajo) may have understood that the general principle of equity and fairness is that one good turn deserves another.
"He had a principal who supported him for eight years and because Asiwaju (Bola Tinubu) has indicated interest, morally, not legally, it would be injurious for the Vice President to express interest."
