YEMI-Osinbajo-11-266x300

General Muhammadu Buhari’s running mate, the Vice-Presidential candidate of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) Yemi Osinbajo, said the Islamic extremist label hung on Buhari does not reproduce his character.

Osinbajo while speaking to young people, volunteers, and social media influencers in Lagos accused the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for stamping that false identity on Mr. Buhari.

“The PDP did a good job in branding General Buhari as an Islamic extremist,” he said, noticing that Mr. Buhari joined the Nigerian Army at a time the military was complete with detribalized officers.

“During his time as a Head of State, he had more Christians in his cabinet than he had Muslims. He even gave his daughter in marriage to a Christian. Which Islamic extremist would even tolerate that.

“Buhari had full powers during his military era to make Nigeria join the Muslim Organization, OIC, but refused.”

Osinbajo began his meeting with youth with the disclosing of a video winding out ugly statistics of the Nigerian situation.

“150 pregnant women die everyday. It’s like having a Boeing jet loaded with pregnant women crashing fatally everyday…,” the video began.

Professor of Law said the meeting was a way to discuss matters affecting the country, adding that 2015 presented an “incredible opportunity” for a change in Nigeria’s situation.

“No matter what side of the political divide you belong to, I know that everyone knows there is a need for change in practically every aspect of our lives in the society,” he said.

“The truth of the matter is that we have a unique opportunity now and in the less than 50 days to actually change the direction of this nation.

“I want us to focus our campaign, as much as possible, and in my discussions with General Buhari, let’s focus our campaigns on what we need to do to solve these problems.”

The APC Vice-Presidential aspirant also said that with sincerity of purpose, the opposition party would resolve the challenges facing Nigeria.

Last Tuesday, December 23rd, the APC presidential aspirant Buhari, had met with a similar group of young people in Lagos to discuss ideas and vision about the country’s future. On Monday, he joined to the social media space by gathering over 30,000 Twitter followers within 12 hours.
