Professor Yemi Osinbajo, the Vice President, has denied news that he has intentions to announce his presidential ambition after the All Progressives Congress (APC) Convention on February 26. This is ahead of the 2023 general elections.
This comes amid rumours in the media that Professor Osinbajo may declare his candidacy for the president next year.
Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, denounced the allegation as untrue and speculative in a tweet.
Any information on the Vice President’s actions, according to Akande, will come directly from his office and not from the press.
“I’ve seen “news” that VP’ll announce presidential bid after APC’s convention. Anyone reading the story‘ll know it’s all false and speculative snippets,” he said on Monday.
“Any information on activities and actions of the VP will come directly from his office and not sponsored speculations in the press.”
“…the VP continues focusing all his attention on the work of this administration and on supporting Mr. President in every possible way. Please continue to ignore the speculations.”
