Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has debunked a report making the rounds on social media that he plans to dump the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2023 general election.
Osinbajo’s spokesman Laolu Akande, who debunked the report in a statement issued on Thursday, described it as fake and baseless.
The was report said to have originated from a leaked memo dated June 24, 2022, with reference number SH/VP/605/2./0, claimed Osinbajo had written to President Muhammadu Buhari seeking his permission to dump the APC.
The alleged memo titled ‘Permission to resign from APC,’ claimed Osinbajo cited family pressures and other personal issues as the reason behind his plan to resign his membership of the APC.
However, reacting to the said memo, Osinbajo’s spokesman, maintained that there is no single iota of truth in the memo, as it did not emanate from his principal.
He said: “Where do you people even get these things from? Who gave it to you? Anyways, for the avoidance of doubt, the memo is fake. VP didn’t write any such thing,”.
