Imo: VP Osinbajo Distances Self From ‘Conspiracies’ With Ihedioha
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has denied reports of alleged “conspiracies” between him and Emeka Ihedioha who was sacked as Imo State governor by the Supreme Court on Tuesday.
Speaking in some tweets by his Senior Special Assistant and Publicity, Laolu Akande, Osinbajo denied having discussions on the Imo governorship appeal with Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) when he recently visited the state.

“I have seen reports suggesting that VP Osinbajo had a discussion with former Gov. Ihedioha about the Imo guber case in the Supreme Court when he visited Imo last week. This is false and mischievous. The VP went to Imo for a private event and no such discussions took place…
“Besides, it is completely out of character for the VP to discuss on-going court cases with interested parties, with insinuations of illegal and unethical conspiracies. Please ignore such fake reports wherever you may find it. Outright fabrication!”
In invalidating Ihedioha’s victory, the Supreme Court had affirmed Senator Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the duly elected governor of the state.
