A former Director of Civil Society in the Presidential Campaign Council of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Mrs Najaatu Muhammed, has said that she would have put her life on the line to support Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, had the party handed over its presidential ticket to him during the primary.

The politician who recently resigned her position has said Osinbajo was a far better option than Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
She made this known in an interview with THE WHISTLER.
She said she resigned from her position so that she can continue to champion the struggle for a better country with a clear conscience as she “remains absolutely loyal to Nigeria,” adding that the problems required “the consolidated efforts of competent and patriotic leadership across every level of governance.”
She however said since Nigeria has become the personal property of some elite, she decided to quit.
“If you had given me Osinbajo, I swear I would have put my life on the line for Osinbajo, because he is a better person, he’s open, he’s proactive and he puts his eye on the ball and looks at Nigeria holistically,” she said.
Osinbajo was among the aspirants for the APC Presidential ticket.

“Within the few months that he was given to act, he changed things, so why should I be sentimental, if the Yorubas were serious why not give it to Osinbajo, who is a pastor, you are doing Muslim-Muslim now, the holy prophet said a just atheist is better than an unjust Muslim. So, why do I care about Muslim-Muslim? But they are busy not only galvanizing the polity but deceiving people, how Islamic are they? Somebody that could not even read Fatiha is calling himself a Muslim, without Fatiha you can’t pray, which means he has never prayed, what nonsense is that?” she queried.
Mohammad has however disclosed that she would be supporting the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the presidential election because he is a lesser evil.
