‘I Don’t Know Osinbajo From Anywhere’ – Why Buhari Didn’t Support Vice’s Presidential Ambition Emerge

A new biography of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that he did not support Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s presidential ambition in 2023 because Bola Tinubu was also contesting for the ticket.

The disclosure is contained in From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammad Buhari, authored by Dr Charles Omole.

The book, launched on Monday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, chronicles Buhari’s life, from his military career to his political journey and final days.

According to Omole, Buhari found it surprising that Osinbajo would contest against Tinubu in the manner he did.

Omole quoted Buhari as saying, “I don’t know Osinbajo from anywhere, I met him only through Tinubu.”
