Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has distsnce seld from a memo suggesting his resignation from the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC) over Muslim- Muslim ticket adopted by the party .
The memo purportedly signed by Prof. Yemi Osinbajo was informing the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), of his decision to dump the All Progressives Congress.
The VP aide further explained that the language used in the memo is not befitting of the Vice President Osinbajo, saying the memo was fraught with errors and inconsistencies.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the memo is fake. Its fake news. The VP didn’t write any such thing,” Akande noted.
The Memo titled, ‘Permission To Resign From APC,’ and supposedly signed by Vice President Osinbajo read:
“I have the honour to inform you that for some time now, I have been having series of meetings and pressure from my immediate family members on some matters. One of the issues borders on my continuous participation on active and partisan politics, and by extension, my continuous membership of our party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.
“As a father and great member , whom without you, I would not be where I am today, regrettably, I write to seek for your permission to resign my membership of the All Progressives Congress, APC. However, if the timing of this plan is not convenience or acceptable by Your Excellency, I will surely abide by your decision and advice, which I will consider to be the final.
“Please accept the assurances of my highest regards and loyalty.”
