Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has cleverly avoided to be dragged into the controversy over who nominated him to be President Muhammadu Buhari’s running mate in the 2015 presidential election.
He has confirmed that “somebody somewhere” must nominate one before occupying a position, Osinbajo refrained from disclosing who nominated him
He said, “I was in a group of young men and women and one of them asked the question how did I become Vice President? I was never a politician or anything like that. So I tried to explain it is quite simple that someone somewhere has to recommend you.
“Somebody somewhere has to give you a helping hand, whether to be a Vice President or to be an aircraft pilot or to be an engineer, somebody somewhere has to give you an opportunity.
“I think that all of you that are here today are the beneficiaries of the opportunities that you have somehow received. And this is why this event is so important. I think that it is one way we have to remind ourselves that we are bound as individuals to give opportunities to everyone.”
