Osinbajo said:

‘’Today, the APC can win elections, why not, we have a very popular President who can control significant votes, we have partners everywhere.

“Whereas, in the coming years, when we do not have such a political leader who is as popular as the President, you are going to need to do the hard work. We can’t assume that the votes will all come in.”

According to Vanguard, he expressed confidence in the ability of the youths to get things done in all aspects of political party engagements.
