A support group, ‘S.M.A.R.T women for PYO’ has called on Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to run for the post of the president of Nigeria ahead of 2023.
The call was made as Osinbajo clocks 65 years today which, incidentally is International Women’s Day.
While noting that Osinbajo had the qualities to become the president, the group said Nigerian women across all divides were ready to roll out their machinery in his support.
According to the co-conveners of the group, Bunmi Oke and Folake Aina, it was time for Osinbajo to speak out as the women were ready to roll out the drums in his support.
In a statement jointly signed in Lagos, the duo expressed the desires of Nigerian women in ensuring that the VP makes an open declaration in order to put paid to speculations about his ambition.
The statement reads in part: “Not many people are surprised that the birthday of the quintessential Vice President of the most populous black nation in the world falls on International Women’s Day. This is so, because any discerning mind knows that the coincidence is fate as decreed by the Most High God.
“This is a clear indication that God reigns in the affairs of Yemi Osinbajo, whom many believe is divinely connected. Indeed the accomplished Professor of Law, who was Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of Lagos State, is notable as one man, who is embodied by the fear of God.
“No doubt, Osinbajo is one man who has stood for the interest of women in all ramifications and the 2023 election appears to be payback time for the man of the people.”
