Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has dismissed reports suggesting he plans to declare to contest for President after the National Convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) slated for February 26.
There were unattributed reports last week that Osinbajo would soon make public his 2023 presidential ambition.
The Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, who made the clarification on his Twitter handle, said any information on the presidential election would only come directly from the Vice President’s office.
He wrote: “I have seen the news that the Vice President will soon announce presidential bid after the APC’s convention. Anyone reading the story will know it’s all false and speculative snippets.
“Any information on activities and actions of the Vice President will come directly from his office and not sponsored speculations in the press.”
