Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo remains an APC member and active in politics despite his low profile since 2023, his spokesperson Laolu Akande confirms.
The spokesperson for former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Mr. Laolu Akande, has clarified that Osinbajo remains an active member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and has not stepped away from politics.
Speculations about Osinbajo’s political future arose after his low profile since leaving office in 2023. Many linked his silence to his loss during the 2022 APC presidential primary, where he was defeated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Akande dismissed the assumptions, stating in a recent interview in Lagos:
> “There is no reason to think that he is no longer in the APC. He is still a member of the party. If he receives an invitation to any APC gathering, he will attend.”
Osinbajo’s political journey includes serving as Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Lagos State between 1999 and 2007 during Tinubu’s tenure as governor.
Despite his reduced political visibility, he recently accepted a position as Global Advisor for the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP), further fueling speculation about his political stance.
Akande emphasized that Osinbajo never indicated leaving politics or the APC. While some believe his new role is taking precedence, others expect his reemergence at significant APC events.
