Rights activist, Deji Adeyanju, on Wednesday told Vice President Prof Yemi Osinbajo and other aspirants under the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), to defect to other political parties.
The vice president whom many believe will get the blessing of his boss, President Buhari came a distant third with 235 votes in a well dollarized primary election won by Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the APC.
The former Lagos State Governor emerged as the APC’s Presidential candidate with 1,271 votes at the party’s special convention at the Eagle Square, Abuja.
Runner-up, former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi scored 316 votes while the supposed anointed candidate and senate President, Ahmed Lawan scored 152 votes, Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello collected 47 votes, and Cross River State Governor, Ben Ayade scored 37 votes.
Reacting, Adeyanju said via his known Twitter handle: “Osinbajo and others should defect to other political parties if they lose and run if they are convinced about running for president.”
