Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo of Nigeria has denied plans to make a presidential bid for 2023 after the APC Party’s convention on February 26th.
In a statement, Osinbajo’s spokesperson, Laolu Akande, said his boss has not decided whether or not to run for president in 2023.
On Monday, there were indications that Osibanjo might declare his interest in running for president after the All Progressives Congress’s national convention (APC).
Members of the public should ignore such reports, according to Akande.
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.”
