A support group gunning for the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to become President by 2023, has picked nomination forms on his behalf, in order to beat the deadline given by the All Progressive Congress.
Laolu Akande, spokesman to the Vice President confirmed this Thursday afternoon.
According to Akande, a “passionate team of support groups and individuals Nigerians from across the country” raised the funds.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) expression of interest and nomination forms cost N100 million.
“Today, the forms are being collected by representatives of the team.
“The VP continues his interactions with APC stakeholders across the States. VP Osinbajo is in Cross River and Bayelsa States”, Akande noted.
Recall that Osinbajo has been going round the country wooing delegates that will vote during the primary elections slated for this month.
Osinbajo who currently serves as Vice President is believed to be a major challenge for the National Leader of the All Progressive Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
