Contrary to rumours, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and the leading APC presidential aspirant, is not involved in any accident, the Media Council said on Monday.

Rather, the Council said Osinbajo was on his way to Owo, Ondo State over the dastardly terrorist attack of yesterday when his convoy met an accident scene on airport road, Abuja.

A statement by Mr Richard Akinnola, the Chairman of the media council given to Persecondnews said:”This is to notify the general public that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the leading APC presidential aspirant, was not involved in any accident this morning.

“Vice President Osinbajo was on his way to Owo, Ondo state over the dastardly terrorist attack of yesterday when his convoy met an accident scene on airport road, Abuja.

“He immediately stopped his convoy and asked his ambulance to take the victims to the hospital and report to him on the state of the accident victims. He immediately proceeded to board his flight to Akure.

“His media office would issue a comprehensive statement very soon.”
