Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has described reports that he
has resigned as “fake news”.
Speaking at a meeting with young Christian leaders in Lagos,
Osinbajo said he is still committed to serving the nation under President
Muhammadu Buhari.
“Today, they’ve been spreading some information around that
I’ve resigned. They said I have resigned; it is all over,” he said.
“They said I didn’t attend a security meeting yesterday. I
was too busy in my office. The same security people were meeting with me that
same evening. Must I attend every meeting?
“Can’t the president hold a meeting with the security chiefs
without me? They said I was so angry that they didn’t bring me to that meeting,
that I was excluded, then I resigned! It is all over the place. I have not
resigned. I remain committed to the service of the Nigerian people under the
leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.”
The president had a special security meeting with service
chiefs and some state governors on Tuesday.
The governors in attendance were Nasir el-Rufai (Kaduna),
Jubrilla Bindow (Adamawa) and Kashim Shettima (Borno).
