In a statement issued separately yesterday, Senator Saraki and Rep Kawu said the emergence of Osinbajo who is a Professor of Law and a well-ranked academician attested to the commitment of the APC to fairness and equality.
“Most importantly, I would like to commend the national leader of our party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for the sacrifice and contribution to the development of APC and democracy in Nigeria,” he said.
Saraki maintained that Tinubu’s sacrifice has made  him to be “a forward-thinking and foremost democrat in Nigeria.”
He said the people of the South-west and a large block of voters wanted Asiwaju as running mate to General Buhari.
On his part, Kawu argued that the APC has now shamed “its enemies” who were working tirelessly to give it a negative image using religion.
Kawu, who is the deputy minority leader of the House of Representatives maintained that the combination of Buhari and Osinbajo will deliver Nigeria from the 16 years of PDP misrule.
Historically, Saraki said, the South-west never paid  attention to issue of religion but competence when picking candidates for positions, but that due to Tinubu’s belief in the Nigerian project “which he sees as bigger than any individual interest, he made it clear that we cannot ignore the current happenings around the country that require that as a party, we must take extra caution and be sensitive to ethnicity and religion by picking a Christian candidate.”
