The Vice President, who is seeking the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC), intimated the monarch of his intention to lead Nigeria.
According to him in seven years, he has been involved in governance because the President considered it the right thing to do.

“I also acted as President during certain periods when the President was away and everything I learnt as acting President has prepared me to run as President of our country.”
Osinbajo said God doesn’t make mistakes and has given him opportunities to understand governance at the highest level of our country.
“All of it was not just so that I can sit down and write a memoir, no, it was to come handy one day and I believe the time has come.
