VP Osinbajo Speaks On Report He Has Quietly Declared Interest In 2023 Presidential Election
The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has broken silence on report that he has “quietly” declared interest in 2023 presidential election.
In a statement released by office of the Vice President and signed by spokesperson Mr Laolu Akande, Professor Osinbajo dissociated himself from “supportosinbajo.ng”, a website in his name championing his purported president ambition.
The official statement reads…
The attention of the Office of the Vice President has been drawn to a website:supportosinbajo.ng that is calling on Nigerians to join a volunteer group mobilizing support for Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
Details of this website and the solicitation of the group are currently trending on WhatsApp with a suggestion that Prof. Osinbajo has “quietly” declared interest in the 2023 election.
The Office of the Vice President is not in any way connected to this website or the group behind it and considers such an enterprise an unnecessary distraction. Prof. Osinbajo has not declared any interest whatsoever in the 2023 election, but he is rather focused on working in his capacity as Vice President in the current administration to address all the compelling issues in the country and concerns of Nigerians, including finding effective and lasting solutions to the security challenges.
Therefore, we ask that people desist from such unhelpful permutations while we all deal together with the challenges confronting us as Nigerians, and resolve them for the benefit of our people, peace and prosperity in the land.
