A northern group, the Northern Youth Leaders Forum (NYLF), has said no individual or group of individuals can prevent Yemi Osinbajo form taking over leadership of the country if President Muhammadu Buhari resigns or is unable to continue in office due to ill health.
The group, speaking on the backdrop of calls by some politicians for Osinbajo to step down if Buhari resigns, said on Thursday July 13, that the acting president cannot be stopped by anyone or group of people from being the substantive president if Buhari cannot continue.
The NYLF national president, Comrade Elliot Afiyo, told Journalist in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital that the fate of the Nigeria could not be determined by any selfish group or individual. The group said: “We want to state that no individual or cabal can stop Prof Yemi Osinbajo from becoming substantive president if President Mohammed Buhari resigns or declared unfit to continue in office.
“It is our sincere prayer that President Buhari recovers and completes his term in office. Osinbajo is unstoppable by any group, no matter how powerful or connected the group may be. “Nigeria and indeed Nigerians have reached a level that only God can determine our fate and destiny, not a group of selfish individuals anymore.”
The group noted that it would not back Buhari if he decides to contest for president in 2019 because the cabinet of the present administration contained many people who have been indicted for alleged corrupt practices.
“Even if Buhari recovers and he decides on his own to contest we will not support him. The reason is because we entered into an agreement with him on the fight against corruption and he agreed to pursue it,” the group said.
“That was why it took him almost a year to bring out a list of his cabinet. The list that was presented contained all corrupt people and he told us. He eventually appointed people who were allegedly indicted by security reports of corruption.”
