Ahead of the candidate who will represent the ruling party(APC) for the 2023 presidential party, every aspirant is trying to have a rapport with close ally.
While Osinbajo may have cut his heights from Lagos, and many may have believed he was a Lagosian for a long time, the vice president is really from Ikenne in Ogun State.
The no 2 man who got the support of his governor and people could probably have done a plus and minus and may have come to the conclusion that his people will be there for him more than any other state or persons. While he will surely still visit other state and canvass for support, he knows that Lagos is out it; as the lagoon state length and breadth will go to Tinubu.
That does mean the south west will be divided. And delegates of this region may probably not go for the deep pocket but may priorities other factors.
