'We Are Devastated' - Osinbajo Reacts To Death Of Pastor Taiwo Odukoya

Vice president, Yemi Osinbajo, has dumped the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for his home state.

This is coming shortly after  the vice president addressed Nigerians on his decision to run for the office of the President in 2023.

In a tweet via his Twitter handle on Monday, Osinbajo stated that his decision to join the presidential race is to contribute his quota to the development of the country.

Speaking with Daily Independent, his spokesman, Laolu Akande made this confirmation.

According to Laolu, the Vice president,  Osinbajo moved his membership to Ogun State when he revalidated his APC membership status in Ward One, Ikenne, Ogun State on 9th February 2021.

Prior to decamping, Osinbajo was a chieftain of the Lagos APC with his polling unit at Code 33, Unit 2 Victoria Garden City, Lagos.

Meanwhile, the women support group under the aegis of the Asiwaju Women Cooperative Society of Nigeria (AWCS) described Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as ‘Judas in the Bible’ who is bound to fail following his presidential declaration.

The AWSC national president, Mrs. Toyin Badmus, made this known in a Facebook post, where she described Osinbajo’s declaration as the “reenactment of Awolowo vs Akintola in the old western Region,” adding “The traitor always loses…. Yemi is the traitor.”

While congratulating Osinbajo on his declaration, Badmus, who is a businesswoman, politician, and the Iyaloja of FCT (head of traders), said: “I hope you’re not relying on ASIWAJU structure. Even your people in Ikenne don’t want you.”AD
