Vice President and presidential aspirant under the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof Yemi Osinbajo has said replied Bola Tinubu’s insinuation that he (Osinbajo) has betrayed him.
Tinubu, Osinbajo’s perceived godfather and former principal is alleged to have said that the vice president has betrayed him by declaring for the Presidency when the former Lagos State governor is also contesting for the same office.
However, during his political consultations in Ogun State on Tuesday, Osinbajo said he owes no single individual any allegiance outside his oath of office and the allegiance he swore to Nigerians when he came into office in 2015.
“After all, I have learnt, if called upon to serve the nation, should I say No? I have decided that I will run for the office.
“I have sworn an oath to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is an oath to our people, our children and the future of Nigeria. I owe nobody else any allegiance outside the oath of office,” he said.
Osinbajo disclosed this amid claims of betraying his alleged godfather and former principal, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, by declaring for the Presidency when the former Lagos State governor is also contesting for the same office.
