The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has reacted to activities of some groups positioning him for the 2023 presidential election.
Some believe he can do well to succeed President Muhammdu Buhari, with some of them saying he had been loyal to his principal.
There are, however, those who feel that his contesting will amount to the betrayal of the All Progressives Congress leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who is believed to have nominated him for the VP position in 2015.
Tinubu is also known to be eying the presidential treat.
But reacting through a statement by his spokesperson, Laolu Akande, on Monday, Osinbajo noted: “Prof. Osinbajo has not declared any interest whatsoever in the 2023 election, but 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.”
In the statement, he appealed to those involved to 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, and the enthronement of peace and prosperity in the land.”
