Insinuations around Aso Rock indicate that the Vice president Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has informed president Buhari of his intention to contest for the 2023 presidency.
It was gathered that the VP deemed it fit to inform president Buhari of his ambition first before making an open declaration.
VP Osinbajo had before now kept mum over his presidential ambition making room for speculations that he may contest or not.
Sources close to the Vice President informed that Osinbajo has finally informed President Muhammadu Buhari of his intention to vie for the Presidential slot at the primaries of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Though the source did not pinpoint the exact date the Vice President informed President Buhari of his intention, other sources indicate that it might have been shortly before the President embarked on his latest medical tourism to the United Kingdom.
Recall that Vice President spokesperson, Laolu Akande had recently mentioned while addressing pressmen at the state house in Aso Rock during the VP’s 65th Birthday that Prof. Osinbajo would make his intention known very soon.
