VP Yemi Osinbajo and the 2023 presidency

Now to one of the most talked-about issues in the political space; Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the 2023 presidency.

Though Osinbajo has not indicated any interest in the presidency, there have been mounting pressures from his supporters asking him to throw his hats into the ring.

Coincidentally, in December 2021, the vice president visited Reverend Odikanwa at the Annual Convention of The Restoration Life Assembly Int’l.

At the event, he spoke on how he emerged as the nation's number two citizen in 2015.

So, as someone who appears to have a kind of close relationship with the VP, I asked Pastor Odikanwa if he supports those who are calling on him to contest for president?
