I owe nobody any allegiance outside the oath of my office – Yemi Osinbajo

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said that he owes nobody any allegiance outside the oath of his office to serve the nation.

Osinbajo said this on Tuesday April 26, during his political consultations in Ogun state. He said this following reports that his decision to run for President was a betrayal of his former principal, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who had also declared his presidential aspiration ahead of 2023. 

Osinbajo said ”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.”
