Two years too much for me to decide what to do- Osinbajo

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo says if elected into office as president, he will “hit the ground running from day one”.

Osinbajo said so on Tuesday while addressing his supporters during a visit to Ogun state.

The VP is seeking the presidential ticket of the APC, and said his experience serving under President Muhammadu Buhari has given him enough experience to take over the reins of power in 2023.

“After I was appointed as vice-president, I had the unique opportunity of serving under President Muhammadu Buhari, who exposed me to practically every aspect of governance. He exposed me to various things in government, and I had the opportunity to serve as acting president on several occasions,” he said.

“The opportunity to do so is an important one. And let nobody tell us any stories. The truth of the matter is that everywhere where I have served, I’ve served with utmost loyalty, and commitment. I have put my reputation on the line — sometimes, even life. There is nowhere that those I served will not say I put in everything to make sure they succeed.

“With utmost humility, it is now evident that if there is anybody, any candidate, or aspirant, who on day one can hit the ground running, who on day one knows what to do, who will not spend another two years trying to decide what to do, that person is your son, Oluyemi Osinbajo. That is the objective truth.
