Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has debunked reports of him having plans to declare his presidential ambition after the All Progressives Congress (APC) Convention slated for February 26.
Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, who said this in a statement while reacting to reports from a section of the media that revealed Osinbajo would officially declare to run for the presidency next year, described the report as false and speculative.
Akande clarified that any information on the Vice President’s action would come directly from his office and not 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.
“Any information on activities and actions of the VP will come directly from his office and not sponsored speculations in the press.”
Although Osinbajo is yet to join the presidential race, APC chieftain, Bola Tinubu has declared his intention to run for the presidency.
