“Buhari Told Us To Drop Osinbajo From Tinubu’s Campaign” – APC Council
The real reason for the exclusion of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo from the Campaign Council of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has emerged..
The absence of Osinbajo’s name on the 422-man list had attracted different comments.
Many claimed that Osinbajo was not included in the list because he contested against Tinubu for the presidential ticket.
However, Festus Keyamo, spokesman of the campaign, has completely debunked the allegations of a rift between Osinbajo and Tinubu.
Keyamo noted that President Buhari requested that Osinbajo and Boss Mustapha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, should not be part of the campaign council so they could focus on governance.
A statement from Keyamo reads:
“Our attention has been drawn to some stories making the rounds that there may be something amiss within the family of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the name of our own revered and respected Vice-President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, GCON, is not included in the list of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council.”
“Nothing can be farther from the facts. For the avoidance of doubt, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, is the Chairman of the Campaign Council. As a result, Mr. President has SPECIFICALLY directed that the Vice-President and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Boss Mustapha should be left out of the Campaign Council to concentrate on the governance of the country and administration of Government. As a responsible Party and Government, all the key functionaries of government cannot abandon their positions for electioneering campaigns. The APC has the mandate of the Nigerian people to administer the country on their behalf at least till May 29, 2023, and this we intend to do with all sense of responsibility.
“We will not toe the path of those who governed the country in an irresponsible manner before us and our Party is not in total disarray like those who wish to ‘rescue’ the country, but cannot simply manage their own internal affairs.”
