“After all I have learnt, if called upon to serve the nation, should I say no? I have decided that I will run for the office. I have sworn an oath to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is an oath to our people; our children and the future of Nigeria. I owe nobody else any allegiance outside the oath.”

He claims that his time under President Muhammadu Buhari has given him the expertise to take over the presidency in 2023.

If elected president, Osinbajo has stated that he will “hit the ground running from day one.”

“After I was appointed as vice-president, I had the unique opportunity of serving under President Muhammadu Buhari, who exposed me to practically every aspect of governance. He exposed me to various things in government, and I had the opportunity to serve as acting president on several occasions. I know that governing at a high level requires some experience. And after a period of seven-and-a-half years of working as vice-president, seeing what many people have never seen, being able to participate at both local.”

"Buhari used two years in office before he could decide on what to do" Osinbajo.

That is exactly what the Vice President is telling us here.
