Despite attending social events, Osinbajo, a former Commissioner of Justice in Lagos State under Tinubu’s administration, had been silent on the former Lagos State governor’s campaign since he lost at the party’s primary election.

Reports had emerged claiming the Vice-President had remained silent on Tinubu’s campaign as a way to distance himself from the Muslim-Muslim ticket fielded by the ruling party.

Also, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has been absent from the campaign train of his party.

Recall that Ngige had stated that he would remain neutral for next month’s election as major presidential candidates are close to him.

Speaking to The PUNCH on their absence from the campaigns, the APC Presidential Campaign Council spokesman and Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, said the Vice President was acting on the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari to concentrate on governance.

He said, “Rotimi Amaechi (former Minister of Transportation) was there in Adamawa State and Jos recently; he has been going to the rallies, but he has picked the ones he wants to attend.

“For the Vice President, it was a directive for him to face governance, and you can see Mr. President has been going round campaigning. Also, Ngige is not campaigning against our party. He just said he would remain neutral for his own reasons, and that is just one minister out of 43.
