Namadi Sambo, former Vice President, on Monday declared that he was not running for the presidency in 2019.Sambo said this in reaction to some posters on the social media.
In a statement by his Media Adviser, Umar Sani, the former Vice President described those behind the “mischievous posters” as “apparently engaging in political subterfuge to mislead and misrepresent his political endeavours to Nigerians.”
He insisted that the posters were the handiwork of “mischief makers” out to “score some cheap political points.”
The statement reads, “Some political posters surreptitiously being circulated on some social media platforms purporting to emanate from him suggesting that he has signified interest to join the presidential race under the umbrella of our great party the Peoples Democratic Party.
“It is instructive to categorically state
that the former Vice President is not in the race and has not directed
anyone to carry out such political campaigns on his behalf, he believes
that the sponsors of the mischievous posters were apparently engaging in
political subterfuge to mislead and misrepresent his political
endeavors to Nigerians.
“Unsuspecting members of the public
especially the PDP family are by this publication notified that such
posters are the handiwork of mischief makers and its circulation is
intended to score some cheap political points he, therefore, urges that
those posters in circulation should be discountenanced as he is not in
anyway connected to them.”
