He added that people see him as a representation of a new
Nigeria.
Osinbajo, a former Attorney General of Lagos, was one of
those who contested the APC presidential primary won by the President-elect,
Bola Tinubu.
Akande, while speaking in an interview on Friday with
Channels Television, said the VP contested for the seat because he has the
required qualities for the office of the president.
He said, “What is important is that you take the step you
want to take in the best interest of the people. Public interest is the
overriding factor.
“The level of understanding that you have acquired in terms
of what has to be done and the capacity he has demonstrated when he had the
opportunity to act for the president.
“And he has inspired tens and scores of millions of
Nigerians with his leadership style. People see him as a representation of a
new Nigeria. All of these can’t be in place and he just walks away.
“He did what he needed to do and the party made the decision
and he just has to move on after doing the right thing.”
On Monday that the former Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II,

President.
