Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Sunday said he is still in the race to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2023 presidential elections.
Osinbajo stated this while reacting to reports that he has stepped down for another aspirant ahead of Monday’s All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary election.
The Vice President’s reaction was contained in a statement issued by his Campaign Council Chairman, Richard Akinnola II.
Akinnola said that the purveyors of the fake news are “afraid of the huge political support base of the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.”
He, however, said Osinbajo is not contemplating stepping down for anybody, stressing that the VP is ready for the primary election and he is very sure of victory.
The council also welcomed all delegates who are coming into the nation’s capital for the APC primary election scheduled for Monday and Tuesday.
