Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo reportedly walked out of a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari after he was insulted by Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai.
All may not be well with the ‘ad-hoc’ cabinet of President Muhammadu Buhari as fillers from the Presidency indicate an unhealthy power tussle between an elected member of the President’s cabinet, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and an unofficial one in the person of Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai.
A few weeks back, our investigations reveal, the tension between Osinbanjo and El Rufai came to a head when Governor El Rufai insulted the Vice President in meeting in the Presidential Villa in Aso Rock, and Osinbajo reacted by denouncing El Rufai and walking out of the meeting, which had President Buhari presiding.
According to inside presidential sources, El-Rufai is widely regarded as the unofficial vice president in the Buhari administration. A top source within the Buhari government, who spoke with The Trent on condition of anonymity disclosed that “Buhari prefers to have a fellow Northerner as his right-hand man”.
“He did so as military head of state and is uneasy with Osinbajo who is (Bola) Tinubu’s boy,” the source revealed.
“As you know, if the position of veepee was appointed and not elected, Buhari would never have appointed a Southerner, a Christian for that matter to be his VP,” the source explained further. “The President, clearly, prefers and places more trust on El Rufai as far as matters of governance are concerned. El Rufai has played a key role in some of the President’s appointments.
Further investigations reveal that the Kaduna Governor and other Northerners in Buhari’s kitchen cabinet have little regard for Vice President Osinbajo. Behind close doors, they dismiss him disdainfully as “Tinubu’s puppet”.He nominated Amina Bala Zakari for appointment as Acting INEC Chairman forcing Buhari to go against Jega’s earlier decision and planted his chief of staff who is also the founder of the Bring Back Our Girls campaign, Hadiza Bala Usman inside President Buhari’s recently constituted Anti-Corruption Advisory Committee.”
I we only laugh hmmm
ReplyDeleteIts a shame if Buhari would sit andwatch a governor insult his deputy. I'm not too surprised tho. He's always been a tribalistic man. Have you heard the New Nigerian National Anthem? Anticipate #PromiseLand.

ReplyDeleteIf this is real, as I always said we can't be force to be together, Nigeria is more than what an individual from North, West, East, could imagine, because my people from North knows them self same with West and East, I f I may suggest peaceful and progressive disintegrate for Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteThis is a serious matter if not pieces at least peace to reign in every part of this country, I believe the old ones knows what is good for them self and predicts for upcoming ones, and I think the upcoming ones is now generation of today whom is read to take the mantle by him self and choose what is actually good for them and also predicts for their upcoming onces too, what we need now is progressive disintegration, period.
ReplyDeleteUr candid opinion is not wanted plz, if u can't live with what's happening u can quietly book a flight ticket and leave the country..plzz just go
DeleteYoruba pple hw market?.
ReplyDeleteI will not be surprised if this is true cos our Presidents and Governors are known to dread their Vices and Deputies for the fear of losing their coveted seats to the later should these Vices and Deputies be empowered. They are ever afraid of the OBJ vs Atiku's drama towards the tail end of their administration. I have always suspected that this present VP will be sidelined. It is not cos Buhari is a Muslim or from the North. He would still do same if they were from the same tribe and religion. This game is called Survival game. To make matters worst for the Deputies, they do not have any clear roles assigned to them by the Nigerian Constitution. God bless Nigeria
