APC VP Candidate, Prof Yemi Osinbajo took to twitter-"He isn't my father,uncle or blood relative"

Was it the resemblance that got people talking? APC VP candidate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo took to twitter to correct the impression that the old man in the pic above was his father.

Prof.Yemi tweeted that his own father died on the 22nd of July, 1996. And that his mother, who is 82yrs 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 pic.twitter.com/IbviMWpQ6q

More tweets after the cut.

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
