2019: Uproar As President Buhari Allegedly Plots Osinbajo’s Sack
Mixed reactions have trailed media reports that President Muhammadu Buhari is keen on replacing Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo with another candidate as his running mate for the 2019 presidential election.
A source in the APC has said the president, from his body language, is already looking beyond Osinbajo because he knows Osinbajo’s loyalty lies with Bola Tinubu.
The Daily Independent, citing a close source in the All Progressives Congress (APC), reported that the possibility of Osinbajo running on a joint ticket with Buhari in 2019 is very remote because of the close ties the current vice- president has with Bola Tinubu
The source said the president, from his body language, is already looking beyond Osinbajo because he knows Osinbajo’s loyalty lies with Tinubu.
