A political pressure group, New Tribe, has urged Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to run for the office of the President in 2023, declaring their full support for the VP.
The group made the call at an event in Kano state on Saturday, urging Osinbajo to enter the race and consolidate on the achievements of President Buhari.
Speaking at the event, former Osun State Senator, Olusola Adeyeye said the launching of the New Tribe “will go down as the most consequential event of the 2023 election season. The opportunity to be here is not one that I take for granted, as this offers me not just rare privilege to see the future ahead of its coming, but a chance to speak at an event that heralds the dawn of a new day for Nigeria.
“It is a moment in history that I would not miss for anything else. This moment captures, in essence, all that I have spent my years pushing – the birth of a new Tribe that transcends all the divides that have kept Nigeria down.
Speaking further, Adeyeye touted VP Osinbajo as the right leader to take Nigeria forward in 2023, hailing him as a decent and honorable man
“Next year, Nigerians will be summoned to make an exceptional judgment worthy of the times. The forces of history enjoin us to search carefully amongst us for a bold, brave, and tireless leader with a resolve to take on challenges that may come our way.

“A leader with a strong vision for our nation’s future, one who has the courage to make unpopular decisions, a leader with the ability to put our times in the perspectives of history. At that supreme moment, we have to get it right. I believe we have that leader in Yẹmí Osinbajo who personifies the calm river that runs deep. A decent and honorable man both in his private and public life.
“Yemi Osinbajo is the man who will lead us in the right direction, with the help of God and millions of Nigerians, the new Tribe, that have been yearning for an opportunity to side-step all the forces that have been pulling us apart so that Nigeria can truly emerge as the giant it long should have been.
“Our country needs a Statesman who envisions Nigeria as a self-sufficient, self-sustaining, upper-middle tier country in the shortest possible time. Such a person must be one with tall dreams and big ideas. That is Osinbajo. Big dreams, beautiful and noble, are the stuff that propels heroes.
“Yes, Nigeria needs a President with the grasp, depth, fecundity, confidence, grit, and fortitude to see beyond the frightening and seemingly intractable predilections that beset us. This moment has gifted us such a man: his name is Osinbajo.
Also speaking at the event, the National Coordinator of New Tribe, Nonso Nnamani, said Mr. Osinbajo will serve as a president for all, who will be detribalized in his dealings. Calling on Nigerians to support him in the 2023 elections.
