The presidential ambition of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate and his running mate, Mohammadu Buhari and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo got a boost as a group of lawyers yesterday vowed to ensure the team wins the February election.

The team under the platform of Lawyers for Change (Lawyers4Change) said their decision was based on their belief that the duo got what it takes to rule the country and deliver it out of the present conundrum.

At the inauguration of the group in Ikeja, Lagos yesterday, the National Coordinator of the group, Adesina Ogunlana said the team “represents the best option now for the salvation of our country from the misrule of incompetent and selfish leaders.”

Ogunlana, a former first Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Ikeja Branch, said their policy and decision devoid of religion, ethnic or political leaning, but “urgent means to rescue Nigeria from her myriad of economic and political problems.”

He declared: “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”, he said.
