Disclosing this, an aide to President Muhammadu Buhari, Ajuri Ngelale, said Osinbajo stressed the importance of the assignment.

Ngelale, who is one of the spokesperson for the Tinubu-Shettima campaign organization, said the Vice President appealed to those concerned to carry out their duties without hindrance.

 

He also urged members of the public to ignore any information stating otherwise.

In a tweet, he wrote: “It must be noted that in a meeting today, H.E. VP @ProfOsinbajo has encouraged all OVP staff — who were privileged to be appointed into the @officialABAT 2023 Presidential Campaign Council — to give their best to the important effort without hindrance. Kindly ignore anything contrary. ”

 

This online media platform observed that Osinbajo’s name was noticeably missing from the recently released Tinubu Presidential Campaign Council list.

The council list, which comprises 422 members, was released, on Friday, September 23, by the PCC Secretary, James Faleke, a federal lawmaker.

 

However, the absence of Osinbajo’s name, including others who had openly opposed the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the party, had attracted different comments.

The Vice-President was among 13 Presidential aspirants who contested the APC presidential primary with Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the party.

While the former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Ameachi, who was Tinubu’s closest rival at the Primary election, made the list of Campaign Council, Prof. Osinbajo’s name was conspicuously missing, prompting reactions from the public.
