The cold war between the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo and his political godfather, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is gradually taking a very dangerous dimension, as anti-Osinbajo posters believed to be bankrolled by Bola Tinubu supporters have flooded Abuja Metropolitan city, 9news Nigeria learnt.
The posters which adorned strategic points in Abuja compared Osinbajo to Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus for money.
The former Attorney-General of Lagos, came under serious attack by the supporters of the National leader of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu after he officially declared his interest to run for the Presidency.
Many supporters of Bola Tinubu have conceived Osinbajo’s declaration as a huge threat to the much-touted presidential ambition of the Lion of Bourdillon.
The constitutional lawyer, during his declaration early this week, said his wealth of experience places him in a veritable position to complete what he started with President Muhammad Buhari.
However, Tinubu who met with the governors of APC a few days ago to shore up support ahead of the party’s primaries slated by next month said, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is not his son.
He stated this during an interview with newsmen shortly after meeting with the APC governors.
When he was asked to react to the official declaration of Yemi Osinbajo who is seen by many as his political son, for the presidency, Tinubu simply said, “I don’t have any son grown up enough to make such declaration.”
Osinbajo will be slugging it out with Bola Tinubu for the APC ticket, a contest which could put the national leader of the party in a tight spot as his political base, the South West, will be divided between the duo.
