It is quite underwhelming for a sitting Vice President of Nigeria to be holed up inside a room for a recorded video declaration to be President. If morning shows the day, VP Osinbajo must have seen the writing on the wall now.
Professor Osinbajo invited 22 Governors of his party to a pre-presidential declaration briefing; only 10 honoured the invitation. Out of the 10, the VP does not have one he can lay any claim to for 100% support. He does not even have the assurance or guarantee that the Governor of his home state of Ogun is with him.
On a second thought, I think the video/twitter declaration was a better way to save face. It would have been a disaster to have an open house declaration without any political figure of substance in attendance.
How VP Osinbajo, an erudite Professor of Law with specialty in Evidence could allow himself to be railroaded into this journey to nowhere beats my imagination.
