News Rain Nigeria reports that Nigeria Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has distanced himself from contesting in the 2023 presidential election.

Osinbajo in a statement released through his media aide, Laolu Akande, disowned a website calling on Nigerians to join a volunteer organization mobilizing support for him.

Akande noted that the group soliciting support for his principal is trending on WhatsApp with a suggestion that Osinbajo “quietly” declared intention to run.
