Osinbajo’s absence at campaign not worrisome, says Lagos APC

The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressive Congress has said the absence of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s campaign will not have any effect on the party.

It said the party was not structured around individuals, saying victory would be delivered for the party at the 2023 election even without his participation in the party’s campaign.

Theeditorial.ng had earlier reported that some members of the party, including the VP had been aloof with the campaign activities of their party since they lost to Tinubu at the presidential primaries.

Although the APC Presidential Campaign Council spokesman, Festus Keyamo, had said the Vice President was acting on the directive of the President to concentrate on governance, there are concerns that the VP would have been active in the campaign if he had emerged as the APC presidential candidate.

Speaking in an interview with The Punch, the APC spokesperson in Lagos State, Seyi Oladejo, said the absence of the VP would not affect Tinubu’s victory at the poll.

He said, “We are not bothered; we have an enduring structure to deliver for the election. Remember we have never lost the state since the advent of this democracy and everything points to our victory.”
