The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo is the perfect fit to take the reins of power from President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
Osinbajo besides being Buhari’s deputy in the last 6 years is also competent and qualified to lead the country based on his experience and versatility in handling matters of national growth and development.
A member of the House of Representatives Hafizu Kawu, stated this while speaking to newsmen on Monday.
Kawu who represents Tarauni Federal Constituency of Kano State described the Vice President as the natural successor of the President in the next presidential election.
The lawmaker said that even though Osinbajo president had not yet declared his intention to contest for the presidency, he is the most suitable candidate to succeed Mr Buhari.
His words: “The Vice President has the capacity to improve the economy of the country in view of the fact that he is the one who designed all social investment programmes that have positively impacted millions of Nigerians.
“I am sure the VP would continue from where Mr President stopped because he has the mindset of developing Nigeria. He is the natural successor of the President. Nigeria is in his heart. He believes so much in Nigeria. He is a leader by example.
“He is a loyal VP and his performance as a Vice President is unprecedented. Even when he acted as the president on several occasions, Mr Nice President had performed very well, so he has the experience to become the nation’s leader come 2023,” Mr Kawu said.
Asked about the presidential ambition of the National Leader of APC, Bola Tinubu, Mr Kawu said, “Tinubu has not declared his presidential ambition. Even if he declares, the party knows how to sort it out.”
On the rumoured support of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje to Tinubu, the lawmaker said the governor had never declared his support for the former governor of Lagos State for Presidency.
He also expressed optimism that APC would be out of its lingering crisis at state and national levels, expressing hope that the ruling party would emerge victorious in the 2023 elections across the country.
