Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is yet to fully resume as Nigeria’s acting president.
Nigeria’s vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, according to reports, is yet to resume at the presidential villa, Abuja, more than a day after being assigned the responsibility by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Nigerian president had on Friday, February 5, 2016, written in a three-paragraph statement, that he was going on a five-day vacation and that his vice, Osinbajo, would hold fort for him during his absence.
But findings made by The Punch revealed that the legal icon was not close to the presidential villa as at the time President Buhari dropped a hint of the vacation, as he was attending the ‘Holy Ghost Night’ programme of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), being a pastor with the denomination.
Osinbajo was said to have left Abuja in the early hours of Friday for Lagos but contrary to the norm of travelling in the afternoon to attend the vigil in spite of his status as Nigeria’s number two citizen, the Vice President left in the morning, apparently to attend to other engagements, one of which was the 13th Centre for Values in Leadership Annual Lecture and International Leadership Symposium in Lagos.
