A petition seeking to compel Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to run for president has failed to garner 500 signatures in 24 hours.
The petition on Change.org, titled: “Encourage VP, Yemi Osinbajo to RUN FOR PRESIDENT of Nigeria in 2023!,” was started by Obiyo Onyemachi. It urged Nigerians to add their voices for it to be featured on the website’s recommendations page.
“In 2023, Nigeria will be conducting its most consequential elections yet. The elections will be defined by clear issues: coexistence, security, the economy, and human development,” it reads in the petition’s description box. “The leader who emerges in 2023 will have challenges like no other in the history of our nation. In 2023, therefore, we will also be choosing what kind of person and generation to lead the country into a very challenging future.”
