Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo on Monday said
he had no plan to contest the 2019 presidential election.
According to Reuters, Osinbajo said
this when he was asked at the Financial Times Africa Summit in London if
he had considered running.
“None of that is on the cards,” the
Vice-President reportedly said.
It will be recalled that Osinbajo had
earlier disowned a group known as Osinbajo Volunteers, which is
campaigning for his election as President in 2019.
His Senior Special Assistant on Media and
Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande, had asked Nigerians to disregard the group, adding
that he had nothing to do with them.
The group had noted that Nigeria now has a
“leader who has a clue what to do and (how to) turn Nigeria the beloved to the
land of our dreams.”
