Nigeria’s Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, has denied plans to announce 2023 presidential bid after the APC Party’s convention scheduled for 26th of February.
Gatekeepers News reports that Osinbajo’s Spokesperson, Laolu Akande in a statement says his principal has not taken a decision on contesting the presidency in 2023.
There were reports on Monday, claiming that Osibanjo will declare his interest in joining the presidential race after the national convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Akande advised members of the public to disregard such reports.
He tweeted, “I’ve seen ‘news’ that VP’ll announce presidential bid after APC’s convention. Anyone reading the story ‘ll know it’s all false & speculative snippets.
“Any information on activities & actions of the VP will come directly from his office & 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.”
