Haven chaired the board, Osinbajo was accused of illegally approving a N5.8 billion north-east intervention fund.
Also in 2020, the vice president was alleged to have collected N4 billion from Ibrahim Magu, former acting chairman of the EFCC.
Speaking at an event to celebrate Buhari’s 80th birthday, Osinbajo said: “One day, I went to him because there were some allegations that were made against me.
“I went to him to show him the letter I’d written to the EFCC to investigate.
“This time he said, ‘VP, why do you worry about all these people? These people just make all sorts of allegations, they make all sorts of stories up, even they are saying that I am about to get married again. And even some foolish people were waiting at the National Mosque, waiting for me to come and marry again,” Osinbajo said.(Blueprint)
