Why Osinbajo Failed To Attend Tinubu’s Presidential Campaigns

The spokesman of the Tinubu/Shettima campaign, Festus Keyamo has revealed why the vice president, Yemi Osinbajo failed to attend the presidential rallies of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.

Naija News had earlier reported that Tinubu on Tuesday ended his presidential campaign rally in Lagos State.

The Vice President, who contested for the presidential ticket of the APC ,was not in attendance as he had been absent from previous events.

There had been claims that Osinbajo refused to attend the rallies due to his differences with Tinubu after losing out to him in the presidential primaries of the APC.

Kayamo, however, in his reaction to Osinbajo’s absence from the party’s presidential campaign, said the Vice President was absent due to President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive.

According to Keyamo, President Buhari directed Osinbajo and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, to stay away from the party’s campaigns, while he campaigns for the APC.

Keyamo in a chat with Daily Post noted that the presidency last year had revealed the reasons for Osinbajo’s absence during campaigns.

He said, “There was an official statement where the president directed Osinbajo and Boss Mustapha to stay off the campaign and work while he campaigned for APC.

“We issued a statement to this effect last year.”
