Laolu Akande, spokesperson to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said that the vice president will soon officially declare his stance regarding running for the forthcoming Presidential election in 2023.
Lalolu disclosed this on Tuesday while responding to questions from the State House Correspondents on the occasion of Osinbajo’s 65th birthday.
Speaking with newsmen, Lalolu said Osinbajo is currently committed to his job of working with President Muhammadu Buhari.
Well, like he has said up to this time, he is committed to the work that he is elected as vice president and to support the president.
“ That is what he is focused on now; and like I have also said in my last tweet, whatever will be his activities or whatever he would do will be communicated officially,” he said.
Mr Akande said that the vice president, based on his observations in the last seven to eight years, was driven by the notion that the government and governance and leadership ought to have a heart of justice and a heart of service.
“He often says in most of the meetings that we hold that the reason why we are here is that people put us here.
“We are here in the interest of the people; so, he is someone that is committed to that notion of service to the people, whether in government, whether as a pastor, whether as a lawyer.
“In every aspect of his life, he understands very diligently the idea that we are here to serve.’’
He said that Mr Osinbajo had always emphasised the need to create impact for the people.
According to him, the vice president is very inspiring and worthy of leadership.
“As you can see there are many more Nigerians today that are yearning to say that this is the kind of man to follow. So, happy birthday, vice president,’’ he said.
