SUPPORTERS of Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, under the aegis of the Progressive Consolidation Group on Sunday its Abuja office.
The group also announced a new organ, The Progressive Project to coordinate youth, women and other groups across Nigeria.
This was contained in a statement titled, “Osinbajo has not opened a campaign office,” signed by the group’s Publicity Secretary, Emmanuel Pippa.
He said news making the rounds that the new office was Osinbajo’s 2023 Presidential Campaign Office, was untrue.
Pippa said, “We wish to clarify that the said office belongs to our coalition of support groups which strongly believes in Professor Osinbajo as the leader Nigeria needs in 2023, and is determined to get him to declare an interest in running for the office of President as early as possible.
“Solely for this purpose, our recently acquired administrative office is located in the heart of Wuse area of Abuja.
“Even though Professor Osinbajo is yet to be acquainted with our activities, we intend to operate through a new organ, The Progressive Project, to coordinate youth, women and other groups across the federation.
“Ours is therefore not a campaign office but a venue for coordination, handling of increasing volume of correspondence and meetings in readiness for the time when Vice President Yemi Osinbajo accedes to our request for him to run and consolidate gains made under President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Party chieftains will of course lead the real campaign when that time comes.”
