Abubakar Girei, a member of the election administration committee of the All Progressives Congress’s extraordinary National Convention, recognized Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as the true victor of the party’s presidential primary.

According to Girei, Osinbajo declined to pay delegates to vote for him in the election process.

Recall that the party’s National Leader, Bola Tinubu, won the primary with 1,271 votes.

He, on the other hand, declared the presidential primary to be free, fair, and trustworthy.

While speaking about people calling for a Muslim-Muslim ticket, Girei stated that they are doing it for their own personal gain.

“But I can tell you that the Vice President won the special convention without fear of contradiction,” the APC chieftain told reporters in Kaduna on Monday.

“As the Vice President, he is an heir to the throne, a crown prince, who should have been given the right of first refusal in the contest in which he offered himself to serve the nation, and in which he had national acceptability.

“He had the best speech and his manifesto at the convention was the best. He identified problems and preferred solutions to them more than all other aspirants. For someone who has never contested any election before and with no politicking knowledge, to emerge third at the convention, I consider him the greatest winner of the convention.

“I do not doubt in my mind that Nigeria has lost the best presidential candidate that would have been produced.

“politics of today, it is very clear that the highest bidders always have their way and the election goes to not necessarily the best, but those who could buy their way in a cash and carry manner.”

He added that the Vice Presidential was against vote-buying Girei said “even his friends and associates who tried to help him could only do so without his knowledge or consent.
