Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Saturday disassociated himself
from a group known as “Osinbajo Volunteers” which has started campaigning for
his election as President in 2019.
The group, which is recruiting volunteers for the project, wants
Osinbajo to stand as presidential candidate in the 2019 election.
While its website featured the activities of Osinbajo, the group
exonerated the vice president, saying: “Note that Osinbajo did not endorse this
volunteer group. We have never met him. We are strong believers in the fact
that he is the right ruler for Nigeria and must create a people’s volunteer
base for him.”
Distancing Osinbajo from activities of the group the Senior
Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Vice President, Laolu Akande,
said on his Twitter handle “please disregard this website created by faceless
people for mischievous purposes. It has absolutely nothing to do with the vice
president.”
