Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has denied planning to declare his intentions to run for presidency in 2023 immediately after the All Progressives Congress (APC) national convention, Naija News has learned.
It would be recalled that reports surfaced online on Monday claiming that Osinbajo will declare his presidential ambition after he made up his mind to join the presidential race that has the likes of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, Senator Rochas Okorocha and Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State.
According to the reports, the vice president decided to announce his presidential bid following a high-level discussion with President Muhammadu Buhari and some party stakeholders.
However, in a statement through his spokesman, Laolu Akande, Osinbajo clarified that the report making the rounds is false and speculative snippets.
He maintained that any information on the action of the Vice President will come directly from his office and not press.
Laolu made this known in a tweet on Monday.
The tweet read: “I’ve 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.”
