Osinbajo to declare position on running for president tomorrow

The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, will on Saturday, disclose his position in the 2023 presidential election provided there is no further changes in plans, TopNaija can confirm.

A top presidency source told the press that Osinbajo feels it’s the right time to address the 2023 issue with regard to his ambition, considering the fact that the election is close.

It’s not, however, certain if the nation’s number two man will declare interest to run or step aside due to his loyalty to a former Lagos Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is believed to be his political godfather.

Tinubu has since declared his interest for the number one seat and has now commenced consultations.

Recall that many groups had emerged in support of Osinbajo’s candidacy even though the V.P is yet to make a clear statement on his 2023 ambition.

Recently, Osinbajo’s spokesman, Laolu Akande, had dismissed claims that his principal would contest for the 2023 Presidential election.

On 31 March 2015, Muhammadu Buhari was confirmed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the winner of the presidential elections. Thus, Osinbajo became the Vice President-elect of Nigeria. They were both sworn in on 29 May 2015.

Yemi Osinbajo assumed office after taking the oath of office on 29 May 2015 at the Eagle Square, Abuja. As the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he is expected to oversee the economic planning team and report as well as make recommendations to the president who takes the final decision. Because of his legal background and antecedents as a commissioner for justice in Lagos state for eight years, many expect that he will contribute a great deal to the much needed reform of the judicial system at the national level.
