Osinbajo who is a presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) gave the assurance in Lagos when he met with the APC delegates in the state. He said for him to have worked with President Muhammadu Buhari was not a mistake, saying God used it to prepare him for the challenges ahead.

 “We have a new Nigeria ahead of us, I have worked with President Muhammadu Buhari for seven and a half years, and I am exposed to governance and the complexity of governance in Nigeria. God does not make a mistake he knows that experience will be needed. God help me, we will bring about that new Nigeria. I can see that new Nigeria. If you speak with your votes at the primary and the general election, we will bring about that new Nigeria.

 “We want a Nigeria that is secured and with the assurance of a good future for our children. God will help us to win the election,” Osinbajo said. Osinbajo said he was in Lagos not to campaign but to celebrate with his brothers and sisters in the state. Earlier in his welcome address, the southwest coordinator of Osinbajo Grassroot Organisation Dr. Abdullateef Abdulhakeem, said Osinbajo’s visit to Lagos has concluded his visit to the 36 states of the federation and to celebrate the glory of Nigeria, and his appeal is for the delegates and the electorate to vote Osinbajo and join hands in building a new Nigeria. He said for him as a Chief Imam to be campaigning for a pastor shows religious tolerance, adding that it is part of the new Nigeria they are talking about where there won’t be segregation.
