Meanwhile, the presidency has reacted to a media report insinuating Vice President Osinbajo was sick as he was sighted at the Reddington Hospital, Lagos on Saturday, May 22.
A report by Sahara Reporters had claimed that Osinbajo's presence at the hospital created "unexplained tension" and "raised questions as to the reason the number two citizen was there."
However, Laolu Akande, the senior special assistant on media and publicity, debunked the report in a tweet seen by Legit.ng on Monday, May 24.
In another report, Vice President Osinbajo has addressed speculations that he declared interest in the 2023 presidential race.
The vice president said the rumour was not true in a statement sent to Legit.ng by Akande, his spokesman on Monday, May 17.
He also dissociated himself from a website, supportosinbajo.ng, calling on Nigerians to join a volunteer group mobilising support ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
