VICE President Yemi Osinbajo, on Thursday, distanced himself from a memo purported to have originated from his office to President Muhammadu Buhari, seeking permission to resign his membership of the All Progressives Congress, APC.


A memo dated June 24, 2022 with reference number SH/VP/605/2./0 and sighted by our correspondent, listed, among others, family pressure, his (Osinbajo) continuous participation in active and partisan politics and membership of the APC as the reasons for his decision.

However, when contacted to confirm the authenticity of the said memo, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Office of the Vice President, Mr. Laolu Akande, described it as fake.

He said the language of the author of the memo was not that of Vice President Osinbajo, pointing out that his boss would not write a memo so full of errors.



According to him, “Where do you people even get these things from? Who gave it to you? Anyway, for the avoidance of doubt, the memo is fake. VP didn’t write any such thing.”

The memo with the heading, “Permission to Resign from APC”, and purportedly signed by Vice President Osinbajo, is reproduced verbatim:



“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.”

He should move to another party and contest.

I don't know why good politicians are not given a chance in Nigeria.

This man is a phenomenon

Osinbobo the president we never have...Love this man no homo

Osibanjo was so loyal because he thought the president was fully behind him. He failed to research the history of the president his principal that he never supports anything good and beneficial to the majority

Osibanjo will support Obi very soon

Honestly, the source of this forgery can be traced and the criminal behind it apprehended.
People should always be reminded that they can always be held to account.

late

2023 still far. This man is the next president i know.

Without reading I can predict what he will say.chinken heart
