The National Coordinator of Tinubu School to School Campaign, Hon. Hamza Auta Mohammed, has said that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo does not pose a threat to the presidential ambition of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Mohammed made this known in an interview with Daily Trust in Abuja.
Recall that Osinbajo officially declared to join 2023 presidential race on Monday.
However, Mohammed said the vice president does not have the political leverage and national appeal to win election even in his native local government.
“We have never looked at Prof. Osinbajo as somebody that is a threat to Tinubu. He is never a threat to us. Constitutionally, he has the right to contest; nobody is stopping him from contesting but he is never a threat to Tinubu.
“What are his political antecedents, what is his track record and what are the structures that he has on ground to win election?
“Our candidate is going round consulting with critical stakeholders from all the zones in the country so we are not looking at Osinbajo as a threat to our principal in whatever ramification you think,” he said.
Despite concerns about Tinubu’s capability to lead the country, especially his alleged frail health and old age, the youth leader insisted the APC chieftain is fit, is a nationalist and has what it takes to fix the country.
