Osinbajo Breaks Silence On Succeeding Buhari In 2023

Amid calls for Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to declare interest in the 2023 presidency, the Nigerian Vice President has said he is only focused on the Buhari administration.

Laolu Akande, his spokesman, in a statement Monday night said the office is not in any way connected with the distribution and deployment of pro-Osinbajo banners, posters and videos.

The campaign materials were recently seen in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, Kano and on social media.

Akande called them “needless distractions from the urgent tasks of governance needed in our country at this time”.

He noted that Osinbajo has not declared any interest whatsoever in the 2023 election and is focused on his capacity as VP.

Akande said his principal is concerned with compelling issues in the country, including boosting the economy and finding effective and lasting solutions to security challenges.

“We ask that people desist from such publications while we all deal together with the challenges confronting us as Nigerians, and resolve them for the benefit of our people”, the aide added.
