Easter: Posters of Osinbajo as Judas Iscariot flood Abuja
As Christian faithful gear up for Easter celebration, campaign posters depicting Yemi Osinbajo as the biblical Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus Christ, have flooded the nation’s capital.
Supporters of Bola Tinubu have intensified tirades against Mr Osinbajo for daring to challenge his former boss in the 2023 presidential race.
The caption on the now heavily criticised poster bearing Mr Osinbajo downcast image read: “The Judas betrayed his master. Repent because Jesus is coming.”
Between 1999 and 2007, the vice president served as attorney-general and commissioner for justice in Lagos state under Mr Tinubu, the then governor.
It is also believed that Mr Osinbajo became president Muhammadu Buhari’s running mate with the help of Mr Tinubu, a highly influential politician instrumental to their 2015 and 2019 election victory.
However, Mr Tinubu and Mr Osinbajo’s political ambitions have placed them at loggerheads and their supporters have resorted to smear campaigns to discredit each aspirant.
Recently, the former Lagos governor denied any affiliation with the vice president as the politicking of the 2023 elections gather momentum.
