Ahead of the presidential primary elections of the All Progressives Congress, APC, slated for June 1, 2022, Vice-President and Presidential aspirant under the aegis of APC, Professor Yemi Osinbajo is expected to begin his second round of nationwide consultation, with a meeting with Oyo APC delegates today in Ibadan.
The meeting which is holding today at the Ibadan Civic Centre, Iwo-Road, Ibadan is expected to be attended by all APC delegates in the 33 local government areas in Oyo state.
The meeting, according to the source in the vice president’s camp, is designed to cement efforts already put in place by Osinbajo, in a bid to fortify his chances of clinching the party’s presidential ticket.
Meanwhile, former governor of Kano State and senator representing Kano South Senatorial District, Senator Kabiru Gaya, has been appointed the Chairman of The Progressive Project (TPP), an umbrella body of various support groups of Vice President Osinbajo across the 36 states and the FCT.
The Kano state federal lawmaker who was at the headquarters of the TPP yesterday, to address Osinbajo’s supporters, assured them that the vice president would succeed Buhari next year.
Gaya described TPP as a mass-based, citizen-driven project and that he decided to take the responsibility to lead a process of recalibrating all pro-Osinbajo populist forces, towards electoral victory under the banner of APC.
