Osinbajo breaks Ramadan fast with APC senators at his official residence in Abuja

MEMBERS of the All Progressives Congress (APC) caucus in the senate have wished vice president Professor Yemi Osinbajo good luck in his quest to lead Nigeria after he hosted the legislators to an Iftar dinner at his official residence yesterday.

On Monday, Professor Osinbajo formally joined the 2023 presidential race, sparking off a lot of excitement.  Yesterday, he decided to break the Muslim fast with  APC senators, led by the senate president Senator Ahmad Lawan,  at Akinola Aguda House, his official residence within the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Senator Lawan said: “We had Iftar dinner with His Excellency, the vice president and thereafter we had brief interaction on our government and of course on the vice president’s declaration to run for the presidency of our great country, the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Naturally, the vice president told us that he has expressed his interest and that he wanted to consult with the senate APC caucus.

“He wanted us to hear from his mouth and we did and he was seeking our support in whatever way we can at the appropriate time. We wish the vice president good luck in this endeavour.

“Let me assure everyone that the senate APC caucus and indeed the National Assembly caucus of the APC will continue to work very hard for our great party to continue to provide services to Nigerians and also work hard to ensure that by 2023, the next administration is an APC administration. We will be at the centre and a majority of the states in our country, by the grace of God will be APC.”
