Barely 4 weeks to the 2023 Presidential elections, a former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Director of Civil Society in the Presidential Campaign Council of the party, Hajiya Naja’atu Muhammad, has regretted APC’s decision to pick Sen. Bola Tinubu ahead of the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as its candidate for the election.

Hajiya Muhammad who recently retired from party politics and resigned her position from the APC PCC, disclosed in an interview with The Whistler.

She said would have put her life on the line for Osinbajo if the ticket was given to him.

According to the Kano-born politician, “If you had given me Osinbajo, I swear I would have put my life on the line for him, because he is a better person, he’s open, he’s proactive and he puts his eye on the ball and looks at Nigeria holistically.”


Extolling the leadership qualities of the VP as the basis of her choice, Hajiya Muhammad said “the few months that he (Osinbajo) was given the opportunity to act he changed things, so why should I be sentimental.”

She decried the decision of some leaders of the party and the South West region, to Tinubu instead of of VP, noting that “Nigeria has become the personal property of some elites.”

She said, “If the Yorubas were serious why not give it to Osinbajo, who is a pastor, you are doing Muslim-Muslim. The holy prophet said a just atheist is better than an unjust Muslim. So, why do I care about Muslim-Muslim?”

“But they are busy not only galvanizing the polity but deceiving people, how Islamic are they? Somebody that could not even read Fatiha is calling himself a Muslim, without Fatiha you can’t pray, which means he has never prayed, what nonsense is that,” she added.


Speaking further, she said “I was in the campaign for Yola, and we had to beg them to take the mic from him, everything about Tinubu is based on lies. Imagine he is an Hausa man, will he contest elections with all these gbese on top of him? In this campaign nobody should talk of corruption because they are corruption personified.”

She added that besides Osinbajo, Peter Obi of the Labour Party would have been another good choice but blamed his (Obi’s) inexperience and lack of structure among others as factors that will work against.

The political and civil rights activist said she could no longer continue with the struggle for a better Nigeria under the platform of the proposed Tinubu presidency.

APC dug their pit the day they saw Osinbajo, someone that is sound, agile, brilliant, intelligent, resourceful and diligent yet choose someone whose mental capacity, dignity, integrity, personality and identity is questionable.

Their eyes down they clear, we told them then but their personal gains was more important than national gains.

The truth will always come out. Everyone knows Osinbajo is the better man for the job.

What was Osinbajo experience before becoming vp?

Nigeria needs Peter Obi at a time like this

This woman don vex 😂. Urchinins were born to be foolish. They prefer an old sick man to a young vibrant one for leadership.

Who cursed urchins?

The wailings have started internally already..

Lol

Many Nigerians would have done the same. Up till now, I still wonder what informed APC decision to bring out BAT. At least I understand some elements who are the cabals are trying to foist someone they can steal from but all APC are not surely the cabals.

So why bring out such a wrong choice?

Lol, the death that will kill a dog won't let it perceive the smell of shit.

Tinubu will be retired politically this year both in Lagos and Nigeria.

Osinbajo would have won a nationwide appeal and this election would have been a walkover for him if APC had allowed justice and equity to prevail, I would have even voted for him against Peter Obi cos I've seen how he performed during his short time as acting president.

Sadly, APC dropped the ball on Osinbajo. I became Obidient because APC gave their ticket to Tinubu.

It is divine, dropping Osibanjo is not an ordinary thing. When your time is up for upliftment,all your obstacles will be removed. Apart from Obi, the other two candidates are " Devil and the deep blue sea".

Why cry more than the bereaved?

She is not serious, what is Atiku,s experience before becoming Obasanjo vp?.

Osibanjo is well educated,brilliant, healthy and a man with class.
Emilokan ought to be in bourdillion or stay put in iragbaji,he will surely fail.
No sane Nigerian will vote for Apc again.

Where are my yoruba Muslims brothers come and attack this woman

K

Bubu does not mean well for Nigeria. He couldn't endorse Osinbajo that served him for 8yrs but instead was aloof thus allowing Tinubu to buy almost all the delegates.

Bubu is just astronomically incompetent

Good

TRASH

r

Why not jagaban?

Me to Urchins

Nigerian youths would have put their lives on the line if a woman was the presidential candidate.
To be honest these old men do not have anything to offer.

Which life is she putting online?

I'm definitely voting Peter Obi in the next election, but you see Osinbajo? I, too, would have put my life on the line for him. He's everything I wished for in a Nigerian President. APC really had him and opted for Tinubu? Our political elites in the PDP and APC are wicked people with no real concern for the country. VOTE PETER GREGORY OBI for PRESIDENT.

Emilokan is a tired leg ,can't manage the workload of a modern day Nigeria ..

This are the people that make sure Osinbajo did not come out as APC presidential candidate because of religion, evil people see them below in the picture, now there are forcing old and sick man down the throat of Nigerians, they don't care about 200 millions Nigerians that will suffer because of one man.

Best candidate that can challenge obi. Not greedy emilokan
