(NIGERIA) A group of lawyer, under the auspices of Lawyers for Change (Lawyers4Change), has indicated their intention to campaign for the candidacy of Mohammadu Buhari and Professor Yemi Osinbajo of the All Progressive Congress(APC) in the incoming 2015 presidential election.
National Coordinator of the group, Adesina Ogunlana maintained at its inauguration, that the move became imperative because, "The ticket represents the best option now for the salvation of our country from the misrule of incompetent and selfish leaders."
Ogunlana further argued that what Nigeria needs is urgent rescue from her myriad of economic and political problems.
According to him, "Our nation's problems are gigantic. Let's put round pegs in round holes. Let's put our best foot forward. Don't let us bury our talents and consign our gifted ones to the background.
"Our group is highly interested in and committed to the betterment of the country which we believe is bedevilled by many self-inflicted injuries as a result of which her prosperity, development and stability are badly compromised.
"That is why we identify and support credible participants in the political process, irrespective of ethnic, religious or party affiliation, who can lift our country out of her myriad of socio-economic and political problems and move her forward.
"That is why we have come together in Lawyers4Change to let the people know that Yemi Osinbajo is not just any other presidential candidate.
"We want Nigerians to know that the distinguished professor of Law and learned Senior Advocate of Nigeria(SAN) whom the APC has paired with Buhari for 2015 presidential elections is an exceptionally gifted, surpassingly decent and a very progressive-minded individual".
Ogunlana stressed that the immediate task of the group is to persuade and convince the Nigerian society to see the reasons why they should support and vote for the Muhammadu Buhari/Yemi Osinbajo ticket in next month's general election.
He said, "Professor Osinbajo's versatility, depth of knowledge, patriotic zeal and youthful vigour compliment the ripened maturity and profound integrity of Muhammadu Buhari, ensuring therefore that the presidency has been entrusted to two capable, highly functional and compatible leaders".
