Former spokesperson to former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Laolu Akande, has refuted claims made by former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal. According to Akande, President Muhammadu Buhari offered to support Osinbajo's 2022 presidential ambition on four separate occasions, contradicting Lawal's assertion that Buhari would have considered it immoral.
Akande also refuted Lawal's claims that Buhari would have found Osinbajo's decision to contest against President Bola Tinubu unorthodox, stating that Buhari praised Osinbajo's dignity and issue-based campaign approach during a Federal Executive Council meeting in 2022.
