APC has five viable, energetic and amazing personalities presently being considered for Vice President slot. They are Rotimi Amaechi, Adams Oshiomole, Dr Kayode Fayemi, Prof Yemi Osibajo and Babatunde Fashola. Except for Prof Yemi Osibajo ( Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice 1999-2007) that is not well known to many in Nigeria, others are more or less household names. I love Amaechi no doubt and I love his courage and confidence any day. He will always be my man and I usually see him as a cat with nine lives. However, Adams Oshiomole seems more mature, vibrant, rhetoric and has a more national appeal across the country having been seen as the genuine fighter for the masses during the Obasanjo administration. If selection of Veepee is narrow to South South, Adams will be my choice. However, if South West insisted on having the Veepee slot and if same is conceded to them, then Fashola, Osibajo and Fayemi readily comes to mind. Given their pedigree and of course electoral values that come with their names across the country, one may be tempted to go straight away for Fashola because, he is no doubt a role model for many of us. However, our country is so divided now that it may be politically suicidal to pick Fashola. Then the choice will be between Osibajo and Fayemi. And Fashola will go down in history as the best Vice President we never had. May God restore peace in our dear country and revive the spirit of oneness and togetherness, because without adequate cohesion building a prosperous, corrupt free and just society may just be a tall order.
