The All Progressives Congress has said the wife of the vice president, Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo, was not excluded from the presidential campaign team of the party.
The ruling party had on October 1 announced the composition of the women’s campaign train led by the First Lady, Aisha Buhari; wife of its presidential candidate, Senator Oluremi Tinubu; and the wife its vice presidential candidate, Hajiya Nana Shettima.
It will be recalled that the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, were not included in the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, a decision the leadership of the council hinged on the directive of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari to let Osinbajo and Mustapha focus on governance.
According to her, a name on paper does not translate to work on the ground as those who do the core work do not have their names on the Tinubu-Shettima Women Presidential Campaign Team list. “For instance, my name is not in black and white on that list. Of course, I am in the PCC and I am going to be all out there every other day. However, it does not mean I am not playing a role because my name is not there .
