2023: Kano Federal lawmaker throw weight behind Osinbajo presidency

Member representing Tarauni Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Hafizu Kawu has thrown weight behind Prof. Yemi Osinbajo presidency in 2023.

He took cognisance that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC has strong opposition in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, saying that the Vice President is a saleable material for 2023 presidency.

Speaking at a press conference in Kano, he called on Vice President Osinbajo to contest in 2023.

The lawmaker Osinbajo is the appropriate person to consolidate on the achievements of the present administration, since he is part of it, while he insisted he should contest against all odds.

According to him, Osinbajo’s sincerity, honesty, antecedents, capacity and experience speaks volumes and that was what Nigerians are looking out for.

The lawmaker reasoned that Osinbajo is natural successor to President Muhammadu Buhari by his conduct in terms of loyalty, impressive vision for the country, adding that his foresight in so many areas will be useful for Nigeria.

“He is loyal, detribalised and a man of God who I think is natural successor of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“I worked with him from 2015 to 2019, I know him personally and I also know his capabilities and potentials,” he explained.

He said the vice president if given the mandate to rule Nigeria, would ensure among other things that the rule of law is entrenched across the country due to his background in the law profession.

Mr Kawu, who commended President Buhari for initiating giant projects in all parts of the country, said if given the mandate, Mr Osinbajo will complete all the ongoing projects and initiate new ones.

The lawmaker commended the President Buhari-led government for the achievements recorded so far in addressing security challenges confronting the country.

“This administration scores very high in its fight against the insurgents, reclaiming our territories and reducing bombings nationwide. It has redeemed the hope of Nigerians,” he added.
