Osinbajo denies report on hotel accommodation for 7000 delegates

 

LAGOS, Nigeria – The Osinbajo Campaign Organisation has described as outlandish news reports alleging that Senator Babafemi Ojudu, Special Adviser to the President, in the Office of the Vice-President would provide hotel accommodation for more than 7,000 All Progressives Congress (APC) delegates across the country during the party’s presidential primary election.”

In a statement, the organisation said  the report falsely claimed that “Ojudu announced this to delegates in Minna, while wooing them to vote for Osinbajo during the party’s primaries.”

“For the records, Senator Ojudu at no time made such a claim and the Osinbajo Campaign team has no such plans”, adding that such reported offers of free accommodation and free food should be ignored.

It added that the Vice President continues to spend time interacting directly with the APC delegates and stakeholders across the States, while answering their questions on issues of politics and governance.

“ It is the plan and intention of the Osinbajo Campaign Team to keep engaging the APC delegates on the major issues of the day, exchanging ideas on how to move the country forward and forging a partnership of stakeholders whose collaboration would go beyond the 2023 elections”, the Osinbajo Campaign Media Team said.
