Fake News: Osinbajo Has Not Declared For Presidency- Laolu Akande,  Special Adviser To Osinbajo

The office of the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has asked Nigerians to ignore a speech in circulation purported to be that of a declaration for the 2023 presidential race.

The last three hours have witnessed many people sharing the long speech which they claim belongs to the Vice President where he allegedly disclosed that he has intimated President Muhammadu Buhari of his ambition to take over from him.

Many have asked whether the speech was indeed from the Vice President.

When contacted, Laolu Akande, the Special Adviser to Osinbajo on Media described the speech in circulation as “Fake News.”

This is about the second time rumour would be rife that the Vice President has declared his intention to run for the presidency.
