Nigeria’s vice-president, Yemi
Osinbajo, has no intention of contesting to be president in 2023, according to
his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande.
Akande stated this while
answering questions on an Instagram Live chat with the publisher of Ovation
Magazine, Dele Momodu, on Monday.
Momodu asked Akande if the
attacks his principal has faced recently, was part of a plan to disrupt any
ambition the vice president has in 2023.
In response, Akande insisted that
Osinbajo’s major focus was to support President Muhammadu Buhari until their
tenure elapses.
“I’m his spokesperson and all I
know he wants to do is to do this job that he has been given very well and he
doesn’t have any other plans right now about any such thing. I can tell you
that clearly.
“He has said to me several times,
see Laolu, this is not a monarchy, we are going to be here for four or at best
eight years, let’s just focus and do the work so that when we are gone, people
will say we did this and that. So, he is entirely consumed with the job.
“I’m his spokesperson and we have
not talked about what he is going to do in 2023. What’s the point?” Akande
said.
