Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has denied reports that he visited Chief Olusegun Obasanjo alongside the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi in the ex-President’s Ota farm in Ogun State on Tuesday.
The vice president’s disclaimer was issued in a tweet by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande on Wednesday.
Osinbajo and Amaechi, who is also the Director General of the Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO), were rumoured to have visited Obasanjo to seek his support for the Buhari-Osinbajo ticket in the 2019 presidential election.

He said, “Ignore reports VP Osinbajo alongside Minister Amaechi held meeting with former President Obasanjo in Ota. Yesterday, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja, on his way to Lagos, VP ran into the former President who had just landed. They exchanged pleasantries. Period.”
