Report claiming that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has informed President Muhammadu Buhari of his intention to contest 2023 presidential election has been debunked by the VP’s media aide, Laolu Akande.
This came as Akande, a Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity attached to the Office of the Vice President, described the report as “mere speculation.”
Recent media report has claimed that sources close to the vice president revealed that he had hinted to President Buhari about his aspiration to succeed him in 2023.
One of the sources who made the revelation was quoted to have said, “certainly,” Osinbajo had told the president that he wants to succeed him.
