Babafemi Ojudu, President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Adviser on Political Matters, has endorsed Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s yet-to-be-announced presidential bid.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Ojudu declared that if elected president, Osinbajo will not take Nigeria’s money.
According to the media mogul, Osinbajo is dedicated, diligent, and selfless, emphasizing that the vice president will appeal to both young and elderly.
Ojudu, who described Osinbajo as digitally adept, said the former Lagos commissioner is loyal to the Nigerian people and well educated.
“If I support Osinbajo, he deserves to be supported. I see the way he works, day and night, committed, not asking for things for himself, committed to the people, committed to Nigeria and well educated,” Ojudu said.
“He can stand anywhere in the world, comfortable with the young and the old, conformable with new technology and always coming out with solutions to problems. I mean, it doesn’t cost me anything to align with such a person.
“What am I looking for in life? I’m looking for a better society, a society where everybody can realize themselves. I’m looking for a society where some people will not pile all of a country’s resources into their accounts.
“So, if I see somebody who has all of those attributes, I have the right to support that kind of person, so, if Osinbajo declares tomorrow that he is running, I will have no apology. I will support him, and I will work for him.”
