By Since Vice President Yemi Osinbajo officially declared for presidency ahead of the 2023 polls, social media has been awash with a flurry of comments from Nigerians.
BlackBox Nigeria had reported that Osinbajo, after months of speculations, finally announced his intention to succeed his principal, President Muhammadu Buhari as he sets to battle his former boss and political benefactor, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the party’s presidential ticket.
“If by the grace of God and the will of the people, I am given the opportunity, then I believe that first, we must complete what we have started,” he said in his declaration speech on Monday.
While reactions continue to trail the development from the political arena and beyond, Nigerians have however taken to popular micro-blogging platform, Twitter to mock the Vice President with sarcastic albeit hilarious declarations for the nation’s top job. Here are some of their tweets below:
