Osinbajo’s wife missing as Aisha Buhari leads APC women campaign team

The All Progressives Congress has constituted the women’s campaign team for its presidential campaign the wife of President Muhammadu as the grand patron.

This came as the presidential candidate of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, appointed the Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni as an adviser on party integration and reconciliation of the members of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council.

The APC Women Campaign Team comprises 1,200 members, which also comprises Senator Oluremi Tinubu, wife of the party’s presidential candidate and Hajiya Nana Shettima as chairperson and co-chairperson of the women’s campaign team respectively.A former member of the House of Representatives from Borno State, Asabe Villita was appointed the National Coordinator of the team with Lauretta Onochie, an aide to President Buhari, as her deputy.

However, Dolapo Osinbajo, the wife of Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, is noticeably absent from the campaign list released yesterday in Abuja by Rinsola Abiola, daughter of late Chief MKO Abiola, who is also named in the media and administrative committees of the campaign team.

Recall that the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo was excluded from the list of the APC Presidential Campaign Council released by the APC a week ago.

Osinbajo lost the APC presidential primaries to his former boss, Tinubu at the convention in June.

While other aspirants have been drafted into the campaign, the vice president was excluded from the campaign council.

Tinubu is believed to have nominated Osinbajo for the office of vice president in 2015.

To debunk speculations of a rift between Tinubu and Osinbajo, the ruling party had in a statement claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari requested the exclusion of his deputy and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, to allow them to focus on governance.

President Buhari is the head of the council.
