Professor Yemi Osinbajo has reacted to claims that he left his father to suffer in a village in Ogun state.
A few days ago, a photo of a poor man sitting down, resting his back on the wall of a mud house went viral. The obviously helpless-looking man was allegedly said to be the father of the vice-presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Professor Yemi Osinbajo. This might have been because of the striking semblance between the old man and the pastor cum politician. See the photo below:
The opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party further fueled the seeming ‘allegations’, saying that the vice-presidential candidate had left his father to suffer in a village in Ogun state while he enjoys life in Lagos.

However, Professor Osinbajo has stated that the person in the photo is not related to him in any way. He further said that the photo was taken during one of his political tours to Ogun state. Osinbajo took to his Twitter account, saying that his own father died on July 22, 1996, and that his mother, who is 82 years old, is alive and well in Lagos.

He isn't my father, brother uncle or blood relative. But. He is a Nigerian father. He deserves our respect. #Change
Whilst the old man is not biologically related to me, we are related because he is a Nigerian, and someone's father. pic.twitter.com/u8DJkvNvw4
This is why I am running for office and supporting General Buhari. To "fix" our 'poor' fathers and mothers... pic.twitter.com/S6Od1nuaqe
He might not be my father, but he is a father. Like 110 million extremely poor Nigerians, this govt. failed him... pic.twitter.com/KXNURESkWO
