Vice president Yemi Osin Bajo will officially communicate its position on the 2023 presidential elections, said its spokesman, Laolu Akande.
Mr. Akande answered questions from House correspondents shortly after photo sessions with the Vice President who turned 65 on Tuesday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said that at present, Mr. Osinbajo is focused on supporting President Muhammadu Buhari to meet Nigeria’s challenges.
“Well, as he has said up to this point, he is committed to the job that he is elected as vice president and to support the president.
“That’s what he’s focused on right now; and as I also said in my last tweet, whatever his activities are or whatever he does will be officially communicated,” he said.
Mr. Akande said that the Vice President, based on his observations over the last seven or eight years, was motivated by the notion that government, governance and leadership must have a heart of justice and a heart of service.
“He often says in most meetings that we do that the reason we’re here is because people put us here.
“We are here for the interest of the people; So, he is someone who is committed to that notion of service to the people, whether in government, whether as a pastor, or as a lawyer.
“In all aspects of her life, she very diligently embraces the idea that we are here to serve.”
He said that Mr. Osinbajo had always emphasized the need to create an 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 who yearn to say that this is the type of man to follow.
“So, happy birthday, vice president,” he said.
