Nigeria’s Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo on Monday dismissed rumours of his interest in contesting the 2023 presidential election.
The Vice President’s media aide, Laolu Akande, made this known in a statement.
“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,” he said.
“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.”
Akande’s reaction followed a volunteer group mobilising support for Osinbajo ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
The media aide added that “Osinbajo is not in any way connected to this website or the group behind it and considers such an enterprise an unnecessary distraction.”
