The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the wife of the vice president, Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo, was not excluded from the presidential campaign team of the party.

The ruling party had on Saturday, October 1 announced the composition of the women’s campaign train led by the First Lady, Aisha Buhari; wife of its presidential candidate, Senator Oluremi Tinubu; and the wife its vice presidential candidate, Hajiya Nana Shettima.

The campaign list which contained the names of 944 high-profile women and was tagged ‘Tinubu-Shettima Women Presidential Campaign Team,’ had Mrs Buhari as grand patron, and Tinubu, a three-term senator, as chairman, with the name of Mrs Dolapo missing.

But speaking in an interview with The Punch, the national women leader of the APC, Dr Betta Edu, said the vice president’s wife was playing a prominent role in the presidential campaign.

According to her, a name on paper does not translate to work on the ground as those who do the core work do not have their names on the Tinubu-Shettima Women Presidential Campaign Team list. “Now, the wife of the vice president, she is playing several prominent roles in this campaign.

That her name is not on the list does not mean she is not playing a prominent role in the campaign,” Edu said.
