    Former Lagos State governor and All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential aspirant, Bola Tinubu,
    has disowned vice president, Yemi Osinbajo while reacting to his declaration for president earlier, insisting that the number two man is not his son.

    Tinubu who had earlier declared his intention to run for president, spoke on Monday in Abuja, in an interview with newsmen shortly after meeting with 12 governors of the APC.

    The meeting at Kebbi Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro in Abuja, came hours after Osinbajo declared for the 2023 presidential race.

    Reacting to the declaration of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who is seen by many as his political son, for presidency, Tinubu simply said, “I don’t have any son grown up enough to make such declaration.”

    He, however, said his meeting with state governors on the platform of the party is to seek collaboration, support and encouragement concerning his 2023 presidential ambition.
