Has Osinbajo quit politics, APC? His former aide spills it all

Spokesperson to former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Mr Laolu Akande, says there is no reason for anyone to think Osinbajo has left politics or has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Akande, a former Senior Special Assistant on Media & Publicity to Osinbajo, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Lagos.

Akande, when asked to comment on his former principal’s political life, said he would not get the former VP involved in his own commentary.

He said Osinbajo never told him he had left politics and that he was still a member of APC to the best of his knowledge.

Akande also said Osinbajo would attend any APC gathering, requiring his presence.

“I don’t want to get the man (Osinbajo)involved in my own commentary, but there is no reason to think that he is no longer in the APC; he is still a member of APC.

“If he gets an invitation to the caucus, you know, he will be there. I don’t about he has left the party,” he said

Osinbajo has not been seen in many political circles since he left office in 2023, fuelling speculations that he may have dumped APC  and politics .

The former Vice President contested the APC primary in 2022, but failed to clinch the party’s ticket, having lost to President Bola Tinubu.

Osinbajo served as Attorney -General and Commissioner for Justice in Lagos State, from 1999 to 2007,under Tinubu as governor.

Some political watchers have linked Osinbajo’s retreat from political activities to his loss in the APC primary while others believe he is devoting less time to politics following his recent appointment as Global Advisor for the Global Energy Alliance for People Planet (GEAPP).
