Orkar, who was reacting to media reports of possible misunderstandings between the president and his vice, said the media reports were all lies.

He said that those peddling lies in the media were idlers who should think of something else to do with their time.

Orkar said that the president and indeed the party, deeply appreciated the sterling performance and standard set by Osinbajo as vice-president.

He said that there was no need comparing Osinbajo with previous occupants of the office as he had performed well.

Orkar said: “I know as a fact that Buhari himself is appreciative of the performance of Osinbajo.

"Osinbajo has been up and doing and that is to the benefit of all Nigerians. I don’t think there is anything wrong between them.

“When 2023 elections come, we will be able to see who should contest for the presidency.

”It is too early now and those talking about the relationship between Buhari and Osinbajo on account of who becomes the candidate of APC in 2023 are just idlers."
