Part of the letter reads:

“In the spirit of the holy month of Ramadan, it will be my great pleasure to host you and all members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) caucus in the Federal House of Representatives to the Iftar/Easter dinner on Wednesday, April 13, 2022.”

Osinbajo’s presidential declaration on Monday has been generating a lot of interest especially with his political godfather, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu also eyeing the same position interest in 2023.

Many APC stakeholders have lampooned the VP for daring to go against Tinubu whom they see as a benefactor to Osinbajo though the former Lagos State Governor and National Leader of the ruling party has not officially declared his intentions apart from consultations he has been undertaking across the country.
