Women Coalition Asks Buhari, FEC To Endorse Osinbajo As APC Consensus Candidate

 

A group, Coalition of Women for Osinbajo, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to endorse Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as the consensus candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Led by Hajia Rabi Dauda, the group also called on members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) to rally behind Osinbajo as preferred successor of Buhari.

Dauda, who addressed reporters at the office of a political group, The Progressive Project (TPP), affirmed women’s confidence in the candidacy of Osinbajo as a people-focused leader with the right intellectual capacity and leadership qualities to move Nigeria forward. She also described him as one who pays emphatic attention to women progress and development.

“Without any iota of doubt, we believe that the emergence of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as the 2023 Presidential flag bearer of the APC will give Nigeria opportunity to realise lofty, collective and progressive aspirations.

“It is important that Nigerians make a clear decision by choosing a leader, known to be ready to work for the development of the future and betterment of the country, than joining politicians who have tendencies to exploit public office as an opportunity to fill their pockets,” she said.
