Vice President Yemi Osinbajo Put The Record Straight

A statement released by Laolu Akande, spokesperson of the Vice President of Nigeria, described the reports as false and mischievous.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has rebuffed reports that he had hinted former Governor Emeka Ihedioha on the likely outcome of the Supreme Court’s judgement when he visited Imo state last week Thursday.

However, Jackson Ude, Former Director of Strategy and Communication to President Goodluck Jonathan, publisher and founder of Pointblanknews.com was one of the rumour peddlers.

On his Twitter page on Tuesday, Ude wrote: “VP Yemi Osinbajo hinted former Governor Emeka Ihedioha on Thursday that there was a gang up against him and he must reach out to some folks in Abuja ASAP. Ihedioha flew with the VP to Abuja, but his efforts to reach out was just too little, too late. The gangsters won!.”
