Yemi Osinbajo, the vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday canvassed for votes of Nigerians while taking a ride on BRT Bus.
Osinbajo who joined passengers in the Bus Rapid Transit from the Tafawa Balewa Square to Barracks area of Lagos, said he would use “unusual opportunities to reach out to Nigerians on the need to vote out the PDP.”
While on the vote canvassing mission, he noted that the country needs a man of integrity, and that the APC flag bearer is the one with will to tackle the problems bedeviling the nation.
Osinbajo said: “Every Nigerian knows that Maj. Gen. Buhari is a no-nonsense person. He is going to make changes that would turn Nigeria around for the better. Remember that the APC is the party of change. Collect your PVC and ensure that you vote for the APC.
“The only way to make an omelet is to break an egg. You have to do something and I think that all of us, whatever it is that we are involved in must be interested in making a difference in this country. This country needs help desperately. Considering the economy and the security challenges, everyone of us must be involved in trying to get a change.”
While responding to a question by one of the BRT passengers, identified as Mfawa Edet, on whether Buhari was sponsoring Boko Haram, Osinbajo dismissed the allegations as “pure propaganda.” He noted that if Buhari was sponsoring the Boko Haram sect, they would not have attempted to kill him.
On arrival at Barracks bus terminus, residents and passersby who spotted chanted solidarity song and struggled to take photographs with him, causing a mild traffic jam.
