Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and his wife spent Valentines’s Day in Nigeria, and not out of the country, says the Nigerian Presidency.
The Vice President said himself and his wife, Dolapo Osinbajo were not ‘anywhere outside’ Nigeria, while stressing that ‘such reports are incorrect and untrue’.
A statement released on Monday by Laolu Akande, the Senior Special Assistant-Media & Publicity in the Office of the Vice President, said: “Our attention has been drawn to some erroneous reports and claims on the internet regarding the whereabouts of the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, and his wife, Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo on February 14, 2016-Valentine’s Day.”
“For the avoidance of any doubt, the Vice President and his wife were in Abuja on the said date. In fact, they both attended worship service earlier in the day-a Sunday- at the Aso Rock Villa Chapel alongside several other Nigerians including my humble self.”
“Claims that the Vice President and his wife spent Valentine’s Day anywhere outside the country is both false and mischievous. Such incorrect and untrue reports should be utterly dismissed and completely ignored”, the statement added.
