Osinbajo Will Step Down For Tinubu If Elected..PDP

The PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation on Friday said that it believed the APC vice presidential candidate, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, might resign as vice president, if the APC wins the presidential election, for Bola Ahmed Tinubu to step into his shoes and eventually become president should Buhari die from in view of his perceived health status.

It hinged its speculation on an alleged video footage of the former running mate to General Muhammadu Buhari in 2011, Pastor Tunde Bakare, that there had been a plot to have him relinquish his position had Buhari won but that he resisted the pressure to get him to sign an undertaking to that effect.

Addressing a press conference on Friday, Fani-Kayode by this supposed plan, Tinubu wanted to become President through the back door, thus seizing the presidency of Nigeria by subterfuge.

According to him, "You will recall how Senator Tinubu wanted to be running mate to General Muhammadu Buhari in spite of the nationwide resentment for Muslim-Muslim ticket that he and General Buhari planned to foist on their party men and women.  Senator Tinubu had justified the ticket by saying that competence was the important thing and not the issue of religion.

"But when he and General Buhari could not push through the agenda within the APC, he (Senator Tinubu), after being given the opportunity to nominate a vice presidential candidate, decided to prop up his stooge in the person of Prof Osinbajo.

"Now the real reason Senator Tinubu nominated Osinbajo has been made known to us and we hereby offer a public service to the Nigerian people by drawing national attention to it.  Credible pieces of information at our disposal indicate that Tinubu has perfected plans to come to power through the back door.

He further said, "It will interest you to know that our information is strengthened by the very similar act of resignation which Senator Tinubu had planned to force on Pastor Tunde Bakare which you can all watch now.

"We will like to show to you some footage that is on YOUTUBE of Pastor Bakare’s interview where he openly admitted that he refused to sign a resignation letter that would have seen him hand over his vice presidential position had General Buhari been successful in his presidential campaign in 2011.”

He showed a video clip to justify his claims.
