2023: 28 groups gather in Kano to push for Osinbajo’s interest

Ahead of 2023 general election, about 28 different groups from across the country have gathered in Kano to discuss the Vice President Prof Yemi Osinbajo’s presidential ambition.

The group operating under the aegis of ‘The New Tribe’ gathered to drum support for Vice President Osinbajo to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

Delegates are drawn from the various zones of the country to drum support even when Prof. Osinbajo was yet to declare his ambition for the plum job.

In their separate remarks, former Kano State Deputy Governor, Professor Hafiz Abubakar, and the member representing Tarauni Federal Constituency, Hafizu Kawu, said Osinbajo’s rise to prominence was not a fluke or a national infatuation, but the consequence of his remarkable skills.

They described Prof. Osinbajo as a man with the requisite capacity to change the narrative of this country, saying that he is the desire of millions of Nigerians

The coordinator of the groups, Anwar Hassan, said they gathered to declare 100 percent to Osinbajo for his worthiness that was since realized in his diligent service to the nation as a Vice president.

In his keynote address, a former Senator representing Osun Central, Professor Sola Adeyeye, said Nigeria had been calling for a new tribe “where no one is pulled down on account of differences in ethnicity or religion” for over six decades.

Speaking on why the new tribe chose Kano as its launching ground, Adeyeye described the state as a city, ‘constantly pregnant, with other cities incubated within its womb’.
