The Vice President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo says he has not declared interest in the 2023 presidential race.
In a recent statement by Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Office of the Vice President, videos, banners and other materials linking Osinbajo to the 2023 presidential election had no connection to him.
“The Office of the Vice President wishes to reiterate a statement on the same subject, made earlier in May this year.
“The Office of the Vice President is not in any way connected with the distribution and deployment of any 2023 political posters whether on the streets or in online videos, banners and the like on the social media.
“All these are simply needless distractions from the urgent tasks of governance needed in our country at this time,” Akande said.
The campaign poster which Osinbajo has now distanced himself from featured Kano state Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje and the Nigerian No.2 citizen as candidates for the presidency.
