The grounds for his choice were outlined in a memo dated June 24, 2022, with reference number SH/VP/605/2./0, which was cited by Daily Sun. These reasons included family pressure, his (Osinbajo’s) continued active and partisan political activity and membership in the APC.
Laolu Akande, the senior special assistant on media and publicity in the vice president’s office, labelled the aforementioned document as phoney when questioned about its veracity.
He asserted that his boss would not produce a memo with so many faults and that the memo’s author did not speak the same language as Vice President Osinbajo.
[quotation name=’Laolu Akande’]“Where do you people even get these things from? Who gave it to you? Anyways, for the avoidance of doubt, the memo is fake. VP didn’t write any such thing,”[/quotation].
Permission To Resign From APC was the title of a memo that appeared to be signed by Vice President Osinbajo.
[quotation]“I have the honour to inform you that for sometime now, I have been having series of meetings and pressure from my immediate family members on some matters. One of the issues borders on my continuous participation on active and partisan politics, and by extension, my continuous membership of our party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.
“As a father and great member, whom without you, I would not be where I am today, regrettably, I write to seek for your permission to resign my membership of the All Progressives Congress, APC. However, if the timing of this plan is not convenience or acceptable by Your Excellency, I will surely abide by your decision and advice, which I will consider to be the final.
“Please accept the assurances of my highest regards and loyalty.”
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN
Vice-President[/quotation]
