Vote me in your children’s interest, Osinbajo charges Jigawa APC delegates

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has charged delegates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Jigawa State to think about the future of their children when voting the party’s presidential candidate.

Osinbajo said this in Dutse when he visited the state in continuation of his consultation ahead of the APC presidential primaries on May 30.

In a statement signed by Laolu Akande, his media aide, the VP said his main message was that for the 2023 elections, decisions should be based on what is in Nigeria’s best interest.

“We should make a decision based on the future of our children… We can make progress; we can move on. All I ask you to do is what is in the best interest of Nigeria; vote in the interest of our children.

“As Vice President, the President has given me an opportunity that I do not think any other vice president has been given,” Osinbajo said.

“Obviously, all the issues that we discussed are issues that concern the country very significantly. We talked about agriculture, we talked about youth empowerment, education, technology and a wide variety of issues.

“I think it was extremely fruitful, and at least we all understand where we are coming from and where we ought to be in the few years ahead. All of us are very happy that we were able to have this engagement,” he further added while speaking with the media.
