The
Presidency on Wednesday, released a statement addressing the
insinuation that Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo was being pressured to
resign.
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo
In statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on
Political Affairs, Femi Ojudu, on Wednesday in Abuja, the Presidency has
denied insinuation that Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo was being
pressured to resign.
The statement titled: “State of the Nation,” said it was not true
that Osinbajo was being held hostage by some governors who were said to
have demanded his resignation from office.
According to The Nation, Ojudu said Osinbajo was on his desk in his
office and performing his routine functions having earlier presided
over a meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
The presidential aide described the claim as ridiculous and urged the people to desist from carrying fake news.
He said: “I have read many ridiculous stories saying the Vice
President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, is being held hostage by some governors
who are trying to compel him to resign.
“I have equally received several calls regarding this. The
story is simply not true. It is a fabrication. Don’t be a purveyor of
fake news.
“The Vice President is behind his desk carrying out his task.
The Federal Executive Council presided over by him has just ended and he
has been busy receiving visitors and holding meetings.”
