Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has debunked rumour of his resignation, saying that he has not resigned his position in the Buhari administration.
Osinbajo stated this while speaking at a meeting with young Christian leaders in Lagos, where he dismissed the purported resignation being circulated on some social media platforms, describing it as false information and a deliberate propaganda.
He said, “They are deliberate propaganda. They have been spreading some information around that I’ve resigned.
They said I didn’t attend a security meeting yesterday. I was too busy in my office. The same security people were meeting with me that same evening. Must I attend every meeting?
“Can’t the President hold a meeting with the security chiefs without me? They said I was so angry that they didn’t bring me to that meeting, that I was excluded, then I resigned! I have not resigned.”
A statement by Laolu Akande , Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media & Publicity Office of the Vice President, said the Vice President had visited Ikeja, Lagos State, where he met with the Hausa community.
“He then proceeded to Yola, in Adamawa State, where he met a group of Christian leaders. On his return to Lagos yesterday night, the Vice President held an interactive session with young Christian leaders at Muson Center, Onikan, where he spoke on the fake news.
“Prof. Osinbajo continues the Next Level engagements and is expected in Kwara and Abia states later today” he said.
