Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has urged fellow presidential candidates in the All Progressives Congress (APC) to support whatever candidate wins the party’s primary polls.

On Friday, May 20, 2022, Osinbajo made the plea in a statement posted by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, describing the address he delivered during his visit and meeting with delegates in Rivers on Thursday.

The Vice President stated in a release headed ‘APC has most ability to achieve best for Nigeria, says Osinbajo in rivers.’

“We are all progressives, we represent the same point of view that this country can be better; that we can improve the fortunes of our young people; that our country can be a great place. Every one of us has that desire, and every one of us can achieve that, given the chance.

“Everywhere I’ve gone, I’ve pointed out that there is no need for conflict of any kind, especially among presidential aspirants. All of us, who are presidential aspirants, have either worked together or eaten together in one place or the other. We are aspirants today, but only one person would emerge, and we must be prepared to work with that person.”

He went on to emphasise the significance of unity among the candidates, “We are also, of course, completely at one on the idea that the party needs to be united. So, everything that needs to be done is being done and will be done to ensure the unity of the aspirants.”

He then finished by emphasising the importance of the APC as the party with the most ability to achieve what is best for the country.
