Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says he has not declared interest in running for the 2023 presidential election.

His message is contained in statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande.

Speaking on behalf of his principal, Akande said that “Prof Osinbajo has not declared any interest in the 2023 election, but he has 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 including finding effective and lasting solutions to security challenges.

“Therefore we ask that people desist from such unhelpful permutations while we all deal together with the challenges confronting us as Nigerians and resolve them for the benefit of our people, peace and prosperity in the land. “

A volunteer group had begun mobilising support for Prof Osinbajo ahead of the 2023presidential election.

Laolu Akande added that the VP “is not in any way connected to the website or the group behind it and considers such enterprise an unnecessary distraction.”

@ProfOsinbajo is said to be one of the aspirants nursing the idea of becoming Nigeria’s next president.
