Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said his attention has been drawn to a website that is calling on Nigerians to join a volunteer group mobilising support for him ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

In a statement by his media aide, Laolu Akande, on Monday, he said details of the said website and the solicitation of the group are currently trending on WhatsApp with a suggestion that Prof. Osinbajo has “quietly” declared interest in the 2023 election.

He said the Office of the Vice President is not in any way connected to the website or the group behind it and considers such an enterprise and unnecessary distraction.
