Nigeria’s vice president and presidential aspirant Professor Yemi Osinbajo has asked Nigerians to ignore Olugbenga Olaoye who claims to be the convener of Osinbajo Think Thank.
The lad used derogatory comments on Tinubu when interviewed on Arise Tv Wednesday morning when asked to give his opinion about 2023 presidential aspirants.
Olugbenga while responding to questions about the presidential ambition of the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had said Nigerians do not want another sick president who would be embarking on foreign medical trips.
According to Olugbenga Nigeria needs a capable person like the Vice President who formally declared on Monday to run for the top political office in the 2023 elections.
His words, “We cannot afford another sick President who will be travelling to London all the time as we currently have, we need someone who is mentally sound. The little time that Osinbajo spent leading FEC was different. Things were moving”
The VP, while reacting to the comments through his spokesman, Laolu Akande, said Olugbenga does not represent the office of the VP and should not be taken seriously.
Akande made the claims on his official Twitter page, where he claimed that he is not aware of the Osinbajo Think Tank group, insinuating that they are operating on their own.
The tweet reads, “Indeed this gentleman does not represent the VP nor the Office. His views are completely & totally his own. This particular opinion he has expressed on TV is deplorable and in bad taste. I am not even aware of the so-called Osinbajo Think Tank he purports to represent. Pls IGNORE”
Recall that the Vice President officially declared his intentions to run for the presidency of Nigeria on Monday.
