Spokesperson of the Tinubu Campaign Organisation, Bayo Onanuga, has said that he regrets nominating Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo as Attorney-General to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu after the later won the 1999 governorship election in Lagos State.

Narrating how he recommended Osinbajo to Tinubu in a statement titled ‘Tinubu and Osinbajo: The True Story of How They Met’, Onanuga said days after Tinubu was elected as governor in 1999, he started deliberating on the people that would form his cabinet.

The statement reads: “Tinubu had just won the election as governor of Lagos state and days after, we met on the 6th floor of Kresta Laurel at Maryland, which Otunba Gbenga Daniel donated for our use

“On this day, Tinubu shared with us some of the ‘certain’ appointments he intended to make. Those who were at the meeting were Otunba Daniel, Dele Alake and I. Tinubu [said] attorney-general will be Bayo Oriola.

“I shot back and said: ‘I have a better person for you’, my exact words. Tinubu was startled by my interjection. ‘He is a Law Professor and the man who drafted our company’s MOU. He crafted it in a brilliant way that protected us from the founding partners. Without this, the other shareholders would have thrown us out’, I explained.

“I also said Osinbajo had worked with prince Bola Ajibola, who was the attorney-general and Minister of Justice under President Ibrahim Babangida.

“Dele and Otunba Daniel did not oppose my nomination, surprisingly. Tinubu also appeared eager to meet the ‘wonder lawyer’ that I had just sold to him, to replace a man, who had served as the lawyer to the campaign.

“After the meeting, I went to Osinbajo’s house in Ogudu to invite him to meet the new governor, Bola Tinubu. I remember entering the apartment from the kitchen. The wife was there when I delivered the message and left the house with him, later.

“Looking back now, do I regret what I did in January 1999? Yes, I would say I have some regret, especially since my action hurt Bayo Oriola. And my apology to Oriola once again. I could not have foreseen today’s turn of events between Tinubu and Osinbajo, who I nominated to be Justice Commissioner.”
