nothing in his antecedents ever speaks of anti-democratic standards.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cTherefore, we do not only welcome the declaration by an aspirant; in fact, we anticipate having half a dozen more, so that Osinbajo would emerge from a very rich array of choices offered to the nation by the APC.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThe nature of the political competition that we envisage shall be one characterised by politics without bitterness; to this end, all members of pro-Osinbajo groups have been instructed to address other aspirants with courtesy and avoid getting drawn into the\u00a0 usual mudslinging that characterised Nigerian politics.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div id=\"m_42756788720227335yMail_cursorElementTracker_1641963330876\">\u201cAs to the chances of success, we are very confident that Osinbajo will enter and win the race by virtue of all his good qualities and citizens\u2019 expectations to see him build on the foundation laid by President Muhammadu Buhari,\u201d Dr. Kurfi stated.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No declaration by any number of aspirants can douse the patriotic passion associated with those championing the cause of an Osinbajo presidency in 2023,the Progressive Consolidation Group (PCG) has declared.&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":90611,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-90610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>No Aspirants&#039;
