Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo's spokesperson, Laolu Akande, has dismissed claims by former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, that President Muhammadu Buhari questioned the ethnic composition of Osinbajo's proposed aides. Akande described the allegation as "a complete fabrication" and stated that there was no single memo containing more than 20 names of aides submitted by Osinbajo, which was allegedly delayed by Buhari's Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari.
According to Akande, Osinbajo had direct access to Buhari and personally submitted appointment memos for approval, with the Deputy Chief of Staff, Ade Ipaye, subsequently communicating the approved appointments to relevant agencies.
