IF rumours in the mill are anything to go by, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is to declare his presidential ambition soon.
The rumour for the declaration of the Vice President for the 2023 presidential election has been on for a long time.
It was suggested that Professor Osinbajo would openly declare his intention to contest for the 2023 presidential election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on April 7, but nothing like that took place.
However, a source close to the Presidential Villa today hinted that all was set for the declaration of the Vice President for the post of President next year.
The presidential source who gave the hint on condition of anonymity said, "The declaration will be done in 'a matter of days',"
Pressed to be specific on the exact date, the source maintained that, 'it is a matter of days."
Already posters prepared by his support group are already being sighted in some public places.
some of his aides who were contacted to give the exact date of Osinbajo's declaration, declined to do so.
There was the speculation that the Vice President had promised not to contest for the presidency if the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu indicates the interest to run for presidency.
The former Lagos State governor had already informed President Muhammadu Buhari of his intention to contest for the number one seat, even as he said that it has been his life ambition.
