Buhari must win in 2019 for Yoruba’s chances in 2023 – Osinbajo

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo , on Saturday , restated that the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 presidential election would guarantee the South – West a shot at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in 2023 .
Osinbajo , who went on a house – to – house campaign in Oyo – Alaafin and held a 45 -minute closed – door meeting with the Alaafin , Oba Lamidi Adeyemi , said the 2019 presidential election mattered to the Yoruba people of the South – West because the region had a larger interest in 2023 .

The vice president was accompanied to Oyo by Governor Abiola Ajimobi ; the APC governorship candidate in the state , Chief Bayo Adelabu ; a former Senate Leader and the APC senatorial candidate for Oyo Central Senatorial District , Senator Teslim Folarin , among others .
Osinbajo eulogised Oba Adeyemi for his wisdom , which , he said , was secon to none in the South- West .

He said , “ My visit to Kabiyesi today is a homecoming . I have never seen an Oba with the political sagacity like the Alaafin . I know this is God- given because no university teaches that .

“ Kabiyesi is a man of integrity ; that ’ s why we are following and consulting him . Everybody here will agree with me that being a Yoruba leader is not easy . That’ s why leaders like Senator Ahmed Tinubu consult him in our country .

“ Yoruba have a lot to contribute to Nigeria for the 2019 elections . It is for us Yoruba ; if you understand, it is for us . We are not looking at 2019 , but 2023 . If we don’ t get it now , it may take some time again.

“ We have to look forward to that ; that is before us . Though there could be some challenges , but what I know about President Muhammadu Buhari is that he is an honest man . If he says he will do something , he will do it .

“ If you love Nigeria , you will vote for Buhari . Corruption is the reason Nigeria is not growing , a reason why they don’ t want Buhari. They are out again; they are looters . Don ’ t allow them . ”

Osinbajo added that what the Buhari /Osinbajo presidency had been doing was to build a solid foundation for Nigeria ’ s actual development.

“ If you want to build , you need a solid foundation first . What we are building will be good to position Nigeria for eventual development , ” he added .

Also , Ajimobi urged the people of the state to vote for the APC in the next elections.

Ajimobi said , “ Kabiyesi is instrumental to the success and the development we have recorded during our administration . He is a master of administration . Unarguably, this is the most ‘ intellectually – intelligent ’ Kabiyesi in Yorubaland.

‘ The PDP and other parties do not care about the masses . These are the people and the party ( APC ) that are taking care of the masses . ”

The Alaafin , while welcoming the vice president and his entourage to his palace , admitted that the administration of Ajimobi restored peace to the state .

While offering prayer for the vice president , Oba Adeyemi said the visit to his palace was an important step of the Buhari / Osinbajo administration .

The vice president , who had , earlier in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, inaugurated Shared Facilities for Micro , Small and Medium Enterprises , financed by the Bank of Industry , declared that the project was a Federal Government project in collaboration with the state government .

The shared facilities centre is for fashion , style and shea butter producers , who could not afford the cost of buying the equipment in the open market.
The Managing Director of the BOI , Mr Olukayode Pitan , lauded the project , saying shared facilities would operate as one of the National MSMEs Clinics and adopt a Public Private Partnership model to guarantee success and sustainability .

Osinbajo , who noted that small scale enterprises played significant roles in the economic growth of the nation, called on traders to support Buhari ’ s re -election bid to enjoy more of Tradermoni , which is meant to support small scale traders .
