Osinbajo denies plan to declare for presidency after APC convention

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has debunked reports that he plans to declare his intention to run for president after the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Convention.

The APC National Convention has been scheduled to hold on February 26.

There were reports earlier that Osinbajo would announce his intention to vie for the number one seat in 2023.

Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, described the report as false and speculative.

Akande, who made this known via his Twitter handle, noted that any information on activities and actions of the Vice President will come directly from his office and not sponsored speculations in the press.

“I have 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.

“Any information on activities and actions of the VP will come directly from his office and 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,” Akande wrote on Twitter.
