A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, on Tuesday, faulted Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s declaration to contest the 2023 Presidency.

Igbokwe described Osinbajo’s action as a “monumental betrayal.”

The Special Adviser for Drainage and Water Resources to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, disclosed this on his Facebook wall.

Igbokwe lamented that such an action showed a lack of loyalty to Tinubu.

“Is this how we will pay Asiwaju for helping to lift us up? This monumental betrayal has no part 2. I am totally diminished as a mortal, who understands very well the meaning and the power of loyalty”, Igbokwe wrote.

ALLNEWS NIGERIA  had reported Vice-president Osinbajo on Monday, joined the 2023 Presidential race, despite an earlier declaration by former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, whom many believed, is the Vice-president’s political godfather.

Osinbajo served eight years as Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Lagos State when Tinubu was the governor between 1999 and 2007.
