BREAKING: Yemi Osinbajo Speaks On ‘Becoming Nigeria’s President’ In 2023
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has denied expressing interest in running for president in 2023.
His office denounced a website on Monday that encouraged Nigerians to join a volunteer organization that was rallying support.
According to a statement from Presidential Aide Laolu Akande, the group’s request is trending on WhatsApp, with rumors claiming the Vice President “quietly” proclaimed his decision to run.
The VP, according to Akande, is unconnected to the website or the people behind it, and believes such a venture to be an unneeded distraction.
“Prof. Osinbajo has not declared any interest whatsoever in the 2023 election”, the spokesman noted.
“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.
“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”, the statement read.
