Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is set to fight the presidential battle of his life following a clash of his ambition with that of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu, THISDAY’s investigation has revealed.https://c46249f8b8313765fe1ba0319c8ee893.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html

THISDAY gathered that Osinbajo has been left with no other option than to throw his hat into the ring after he was snubbed in London by the former Governor of Lagos State.

Tinubu had earlier this month returned to Nigeria after spending over three months in London on medical vacation.

The two-term governor of Lagos State, whose health has been a subject of controversy was reported to have undergone knee surgery in London.https://c46249f8b8313765fe1ba0319c8ee893.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html

No fewer than 30 politicians, including President Muhammadu Buhari, Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Umar Ganduje (Kano), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti), and Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo), visited him in London.

The northern caucus in the House of Representatives, led by Deputy Speaker, Hon. Ahmed Wase also visited the APC national leader and endorsed his candidacy for the 2023 presidency.

A source close to Osinbajo, however, told THISDAY last night that Tinubu snubbed the vice president during his medical vacation in London.
