“Our call is based on the spotted capability of the Vice president to build on the foundation being laid by President Buhari.
“Osinbajo has demonstrated capability in helping president Buhari achieve his set agenda, particularly in the social investment programmes and economy and made youths and, women a priority. “We strongly believe youths and women interests would be better served under his watch as a president come 2023.’
“What is at stake is the future of our children; we have nothing to do with power shift, but in leadership capability.”
