Former Kano State governor, Senator Kabiru Gaya, has insisted that contrary to reports making the rounds, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was not sidelined in the formation of the presidential campaign team of the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n
Gaya, who served as the Director-General of the support groups of Osinbajo when the vice president sought the presidential ticket of the APC, disclosed this to journalists in Kano on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
He stated that Osinbajo remained committed to the presidential ambition of the APC candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cI am a member of Tinubu campaign team, so the issue of sidelining anyone does not arise. Even the president has said he wants Osinbajo to be with him in running the affairs of the country to ensure seamless handover.<\/p>\n
