Professor Yemi Osinbajo’s spokesperson, Laolu Akande has said that the Vice president will make his presidential ambition decision known in no distance time.
While fielding questions from state house correspondents during the Osinbajo’s 65th birthday ceremony in the presidential villa on Tuesday, Akande mentioned that at the appropriate time the Vice president will tell Nigerians if he would contest or not.
He said that at present, Mr Osinbajo is focused on supporting President Muhammadu Buhari to deliver in addressing Nigeria’s challenges.
“Well, like he has said up to this time, he is committed to the work that he is elected as vice president and to support the president.
“ That is what he is focused on now; and like I have also said in my last tweet, whatever will be his activities or whatever he would do will be communicated officially,” he said.
Mr Akande said that the vice president, based on his observations in the last seven to eight years, was driven by the notion that the government and governance and leadership ought to have a heart of justice and a heart of service.
“He often says in most of the meetings that we hold that the reason why we are here is because people put us here.
“ We are here in the interest of the people; so, he is someone that is committed to that notion of service to the people, whether in government, whether as a pastor, whether as a lawyer.
“In every aspect of his life, he understands very diligently the idea that we are here to serve.’’
Laolu Akande added that the Vice president principle has been people- driven and he will continue to make effort to impact on the people of Nigeria
