Supporters of Vice President Yemi Osibanjo on Saturday kickstarted his 2023 presidential campaign with the launch of the New Nigerian Tribe “Homo sapiens nigerianus” in Kano.

The event was organised by One Tribe Osibanjo Group.

Addressing the crowd at the launch, Prof. Olusola Adeyeye, a former Whip of the Senate, said Osinbajo is the perfect fit for Nigeria’s next president in 2023.

Adeyeye said: “At this moment, choosing the President is very easy for Nigerians because we have Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, the man of the moment.

“He is a leader with vision and mission that transcends all tribal sentiments and considers our common humanity.

“At this point in time, we need a man like Osinbajo who is intellectual, versatile and very suited for the throne.

“He has good characters which is the best quality of leadership and displays keen intellects with noble intention that if elected he will inspire millions of Nigerians because he is a man of his words.

“For me, it is an easy choice to make. For millions of Nigerians, given a chance, it should equally be an easy choice to make except that many are mired in pessimism that arose from wanton betrayal by governments. For the New Tribe here gathered plus millions of our cohorts all over Nigeria, our choice is clear and simple!

“The moment has chosen for us a man that providence has prepared for the task. The moment speaks to choosing a man who transcends all tribes, an embodiment of the New Tribe defined not by the cacophony of dialects but the symphony of our common humanity. The moment requires a man who is able to galvanise the ideals and ideas that will unfold the beckoning glory of a new Nigeria.

“My compatriots, history is encapsulated in moments. This moment of Nigerian history, has itself chosen a man and that man is Professor Oluyemi Oluleke Osinbajo, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Yemi Osinbajo is the man of the moment for Nigeria. He is well-grounded and adequately prepared.  A tested and trusted hand, with the right temperament, the intellectual fire power, and governance ethos best suited for this moment. Yemi Osinbajo is the man for the moment. Not for his own sake, but for the sake of our country, Nigeria.”
