Namadi Sambo, former Vice
President, on Monday declared that he was not running for the presidency in
2019.
Sambo said this in reaction to
some posters on the social media.
In a statement by his Media
Adviser, Umar Sani, the former Vice President described those behind the
“mischievous posters” as “apparently engaging in political subterfuge to
mislead and misrepresent his political endeavours to Nigerians.”
He insisted that the posters were
the handiwork of “mischief makers” out to “score some cheap political points.”
The statement reads, “Some
political posters surreptitiously being circulated on some social media
platforms purporting to emanate from him suggesting that he has signified
interest to join the presidential race under the umbrella of our great party
the Peoples Democratic Party.
“It is instructive to
categorically state that the former Vice President is not in the race and has
not directed anyone to carry out such political campaigns on his behalf, he
believes that the sponsors of the mischievous posters were apparently engaging
in political subterfuge to mislead and misrepresent his political endeavors to
Nigerians.
“Unsuspecting members of the
public especially the PDP family are by this publication notified that such
posters are the handiwork of mischief makers and its circulation is intended to
score some cheap political points he, therefore, urges that those posters in
circulation should be discountenanced as he is not in anyway connected to
them.”
