A stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, Mr. Moshood Salvador, has said that Prof Yemi Osinbajo’s 2023 declaration of presidential ambition was the tonic that the national Leader of the party and presidential aspirant, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, needed to get his health back.
Speaking in Lagos yesterday Salvador on the sidelines of his annual Ramadan Lecture/Zakat held Surulere, Lagos, Salvador said Osinbajo contesting against Tinubu is good for the political development of the country.
According to him, there was nothing like betrayal that Osinbajo is contesting against Tinubu.
He said it would rather deepen the democratic experience of Nigeria, especially Lagos State where there is hardly any democracy.
Salvador, a one-time chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state before defecting to APC, said, “Vice President and Asiwaju coming out to contest is a very good political development.
“Hardly do we have real democracy in Lagos State. It is a democratic challenge to all the big wigs that are coming out. It is a fantastic development even for Asiwaju. You can see that his health improved immediately that he now calls himself a youth.
“You could see him at the stadium (yesterday) coming out to say what exactly he wants to do for Nigeria, you can see him talking to the masses. He was all the while talking to the Obas, talking to Mr. President. Mr. President has only one vote. President Muhammadu Buhari’s vote is not bigger than mine, my vote is not bigger than yours. Therefore you can see the mood,” he said.
