Laolu Akande, the spokesman for the immediate past Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, has said his principal was absent at the caucus meeting of the All Progressives Congress on Wednesday because he was not in Nigeria.
In a statement released on Wednesday, August 2, Akande noted that Osinbanjo was absent for some engagements to which he had long been committed.
Stressing that former Vice President commitment to the party, he apologized for Osinbajo absence.
He said: “In a letter of apology for his absence addressed to the Acting Chairman of the party (Abubakar Kyari), the former VP explained that he was already abroad for engagements to which he had long been committed, when he received the invitation to the meeting,” the statement partly read.”
He had in fact cancelled some of his engagements abroad to be available for the two previously scheduled caucus meetings of the party which had to be postponed due to exigencies.
As well the former President, Muhammadu Buhari as absent from the meeting.
The former president through his spokesman, Garba Shehu, however, explained he was unable to attend the meeting due to commitments he earlier made.
