observed that the vice president was absent from the meeting. This led
to rumors flying around that he was not being carried along on the
affairs of the country.
A social media influencer who helped in
disseminating the speculation said he got the hint from a close aide of
the number two citizen.
But reacting on Thursday morning, Osinbajo described the rumor as fake news.
“Misleading/FAKE
news is on the rise especially in this season when Nigerians will make a
choice about who will govern them for the next four years,” he tweeted,
adding that, “I have not resigned.”
Osinbajo said he remained “committed to the service of the Nigerian people under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.”
