The workplace of the Vice president has discharged an announcement denying reports that the VP secured the city of Calabar for 10 hours on Thursday 25th of June 2015. The following is a press explanation they sent it.
VP Yemi Osinbajo was in Calabar and Lagos today -Thursday June 25 paying tribute to two famous Nigerians whose lives mirror the very ideals of trustworthiness, dependability and social equity, which can lift our dear country. The one is Late Justice P.O.E Bassey and Dr. Christopher Kolade.
He arrived Calabar at around 10:30am going to the Justice P.O.E Bassey Memorial Lecture, at the University of Calabar, and left the town around 3:30pm, heading for Lagos where he talked at the Convention for Integrity 3rd Annual Lecture.
Prof Osinbajo was generally welcomed in Calabar saw by the glow demonstrated to him and his appointment by the individuals and legislature of Cross River State.
Claims that the town was in a lockdown in view of his visit is simply one more wicked and outlandish report from a portion of the same social networking quarters that deluded the country in the past about his implied prohibition from security gatherings. The Vice President did not even burn through ten hours in Calabar and couldn't have secured the town, as his escort moved openly among the individuals in normal activity as he typically does.
I for one watched a few individuals go about their typical exercises and organizations with no hinderance.
He has subsequent to came back to Abuja after his outing to both urban communities.
