Tinubu, Osinbajo face smear crusade ahead of 2023 presidential race

By Jennifer Y Omiloli

A report by The Nation has explained how an anonymous Kaduna-based politician has initiated an awful crusade against Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the national head of the All progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2023 presidential race.

As indicated by the report, the point is stop power move toward the south in 2023 by defaming some political heavyweights.

It was assembled that a motivation for a drawn out smear crusade has been set up starting with the printing of posters in Dubai against Tinubu and the restoration of a petition against Alpha Beta Consulting Limited.

Tinubu is said to be the proprietor of the organization, which is apparently a tax advisor for the Lagos state government.

The VP on his part, had his first sanctification with the probe of the exercises of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) by the eighth House of Representatives in 2018.

The “war” against the VP and Tinubu will soon expect a media strike which may spread for a long time.

A source familiar with the alleged plot said: “The overall objective of this grand plot by some politicians, including a mix of some APC governors, ex-governors and PDP elements, is to demystify the democratic credentials and integrity of Osinbajo and Tinubu.

“It is also about permutations for 2023 ahead of a planned alliance by some APC and PDP elements to frustrate the suspected presidential ambition of Osinbajo and Tinubu.

“They are out to paint Osinbajo and Tinubu as corrupt persons who should not be trusted by the political class, especially the power oligarchy in the country.

“Apart from creating a wedge between President Muhammadu Buhari and the VP and Asiwaju, some of these schemers do not want power shift to the south in 2023 because of their secret presidential ambition.

“They actually intend to provoke Buhari to move against Tinubu and Osinbajo under the guise of anti-corruption fight.”

The source also said the assault on the VP and Tinubu was in connection with plans to decimate APC before 2023.

“They see Osinbajo and Tinubu as stumbling blocks to their ambition. They have concluded plans to cause crisis in APC, destroy the party and use a new alliance to form a new party for their presidential aspiration.

“Why will they go to Dubai to print 2023 posters to paint Tinubu as anti-Buhari? They are desperate to finish these two leaders. It is a crooked plot,” the source said.
