All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari has finally settled for a former Attorney General, Commissioner of Justice in Lagos State and Redeemed Senior Associate Pastor, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo.
Many believed that the choice of picking Osibanjo, Tinubu's ally , has shattered the vice presidential ambition of Rivers State governor, Rotimi Ameachi, who chance of getting Buhari’s nod on account of his heavy financial investment in the Buhari presidential project.
Even though Amaechi, who is Director General of Buhari's campaign team made a case for the south-south to be given the Vice President slot because it will be impossible for the APC to campaign in the Niger Delta with both No 1 or No 2 slots not offer to the region.
55 year old, Prof Yemi Osibanjo is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Senior Partner in the Law firm of SimmonsCooper Partners and Senior Associate Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. As a professor of law, he was the head of department of Public Law at the University of Lagos (1997-1999).
Prof Osibanjo was speculated to have defeated last-minute challenge from fellow south-westerners such as former governors, Kayode Fayemi, Niyi Adebayo and Olagunsoye Oyinlola.
