What Many Don’t Know About Osinbajo’s Presidential Ambition (the Femi Ojodu’s connection)
-Jide George
The declaration by the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo where he stated in clear terms why he wants to become the President of Nigeria in 2023 has generated a lot of concerns, but unknown to many, there is a lot than meets the eye in the ambition of a man that wants the job of his boss.
Long before his declaration, there were doubts as to where the Vice-President stands considering his silence on the tales making the rounds that he was going to slug it out for the APC ticket with his godfather, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu who has earlier made known his intentions to take over the job from President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
Osinbajo who reportedly confided in a close friend that he would never contest against Asiwaju Bola Tinubu stunned many when he made his declaration on Monday, April 11, 2022 exactly two months after Tinubu made his intentions known to the public after consulting President Muhammadu Buhari in a closed door meeting in Abuja.
The Osinbajo’s declaration which at the moment is the biggest news in Nigeria with discussions and narratives on radio, tv, newsstands and the social media is claimed to be an orchestration of one man, Senator Babafemi Ojudu , a Special Adviser to President Buhari on Political Matters.
Ojodu is believed to have spear-headed a team of strategists working for the Vice-President’s ambition for 2023 and as people within the corridors of power know that he has the VP’S ears and played an instrumental role in the declaration.
While pundits opined that Osinbajo is the President’s preferred candidate, others reasoned that the declaration by Amaechi has thrown the game open as the Transport Minister is said to also be close to the President.
Tinubu and Osinbajo have remained the most talked about of all the people that had shown interest in becoming the President.
While many see Osinbajo’s declaration as a game plan that has the approval of Tinubu, others think the ambition is just another betrayal that usually clouds the space in politics.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently arrested prominent businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu, following allegations of fraudulent activities related to a multi-million-naira contract awarded to her company by a South-West state.
Achimugu, who serves as the Chairman of Bluewave Exploration and Production Limited, was detained last weekend after a civil society group filed a petition accusing her of involvement in dubious dealings concerning the contract. She was granted bail the following day but has been instructed to return for further questioning in the coming week.
Beyond her corporate endeavors, Achimugu is well-known in elite circles across Lagos and Abuja. Her social media presence showcases a lavish lifestyle, featuring exotic vacations, exclusive yacht parties, and private jet travels.
This arrest marks a significant challenge for Achimugu, whose business empire and social standing are now under intense public scrutiny. The EFCC’s investigation is ongoing, and the outcome may have far-reaching implications for her career and reputation.
A source hinted that Achimugu was asked by the commission to report back on the 30th of March,2025 for further questioning.
Not really bothered by the investigation, the billionaire days after her arrest launched a 30-day feeding Ramadan programme where she targets the less-privileged.
