He pointed out that Osinbajo was occupied with the duties thrust on him by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration, urging the public to disregard speculations in the media.
“I’ve seen “news” that VP’ll announce presidential bid after APC’s convention. Anyone reading the story’ll know it’s all false and speculative snippets.
“Any information on activities and actions of the VP will come directly from his office and not sponsored speculations in the press.
“The VP continues focusing all his attention on the work of this administration and on supporting Mr. President in every possible way. Please continue to ignore the speculations” he said.
