Ben Ayade, governor of Cross River and a presidential
hopeful of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says he’s not worried about the
ambition of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.
Ayade and Osinbajo are among the growing list of APC
politicians who have declared interest in running for the office of the
president.
On Thursday, Osinbajo visited Cross River for consultations
with stakeholders and delegates of the ruling party.
Ayade, who was present with other delegates and traditional
leaders, said he is not disturbed by the ambition of the vice-president.
He praised Osinbajo’s intellect and value, adding that he
has the capacity to lead the country.
“I have no doubt that he has the capacity to drive Nigeria’s
hopes and dreams,” he said.
“I have no worries about the vice-president’s ambition. I
would like the people of Cross River state to carefully and attentively listen
to him.
“He is a man of great intellect and value and he came in to
respectfully honour our Obong.”
Also speaking, Osinbajo said he has the experience and
sufficient knowledge to deal with the security and economic challenges facing
the country.
“The truth of the matter is that every country is faced with
peculiar challenges – in our case, we are faced with security and economic
challenges,” he said.
“But we also know that God Himself equips us with all the
necessary resources to defeat every challenge.
“I believe very strongly that God helping us, our economic
and security challenges will not only be dealt with, but will be stepping
stones for a greater nation and a more prosperous and secured nation.”
