Controversial critic and former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has declared that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is a much more competent candidate than Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Tinubu and Osinbajo are presidential aspirants under the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 presidency and will slug it out at the primary at the end of May.
He said in terms of what he achieved in Lagos, Tinubu was far more competent than Osinbajo. Omokri said he did not like Tinubu and that he fully expected that if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chose the right candidate, they would defeat Tinubu.

He said to put the record side by side, Tinubu’s record far outweighed that of Osinbajo.
Omokri tweeted: “In terms of what he achieved in Lagos, Tinubu is by far more competent than Osinbajo. I do not like Tinubu.
“And I fully expect that if the PDP chooses the right candidate, they will defeat him. But put his record side by side Osinbajo’s record, and Tinubu is better!”
In another report, the Governor of Jigawa State, Muhammad Badaru, on Friday, recalled how former Lagos Governor, Bola Tinubu, help create the All Progressives Congress (APC), the party under which he became governor in 2015.
Speaking to the party’s delegates at the Manpower Development Institute, Dutse, in the presence of Mr Tinubu, who was in the state to canvas for votes for the forthcoming party’s presidential primaries, the governor said Mr Tinubu’s support made it possible for him to win the governorship election in 2015.
“In 2011, we were looking for platform to contest the gubernatorial election in Jigawa, Asiwaju Bola Ahmad Tinubu provided me with that platform, in that election I came second.
“Despite all the challenges, it was the contest that help galvanize my support, making it possible for me to win election in 2015,” Mr Badaru said amid loud cheers from the arena, which was filled with the party’s delegates and faithfuls.
The governor said he is one of the few who can walk into Mr Tinubu’s bedroom, wake him up even if he is sleeping. He said a strong bond exists between them.
In Jigawa, the governor said they are Buharist (Diehard fans of president Buhari) and they can do whatever the president ask them to do, but nobody can be more Buharist than Mr Tinubu, nobody knows the friendship, link between President Muhammadu Buhari and Mr Tinubu.
He said no matter what people say on the streets, Mr Buhari holds Mr Tinubu dearly.
