In a message posted on his Facebook page on Monday, the All Progressives Congress chieftain challenged Osinbajo to respect the party’s National Leader, Bola Tinubu.
In a statement, Igbokwe urged politicians who have been endorsed by Tinubu to get out of the presidential contest out of respect.
Under Tinubu’s reign as governor of Lagos State, Osinbajo served as attorney general and commissioner for justice.
According to sources, Tinubu recommended Osinbajo for Vice President in 2015. However, Osinbajo is prepared to fight his old boss for the APC presidential ticket.
