Does ''professor'' Osinbajo really know the constitution? by Francis5: 2:55pm On Jun 12, 2015
Is Buhari falling foul of the constitution by relegating Osinbade to the back door on security matters?
Can Buhari be sued by his VP for breach of the constitution?

This is what Nigeria constitution states on this matter

(a) the President who shall be the Chairman;

(b) the Vice-President who shall be the Deputy Chairman;

(e) the Chief of Army Staff;

(f) the Chief of Naval Staff;

(g) the Chief of Air Staff; and

(h) such other members as the President may appoint.

17. The Council shall have power to advise the President on matters relating to the defence of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Nigeria.


K - National Security Council

25. The National Security Council shall comprise the following members -
(a) the President who shall be the Chairman;

(b) the Vice-President who shall be the Deputy Chairman;

(e) the Minister of the Government of the Federation charged responsibility for defence;

I suggest we help to ''stimulate'' (apology to the northern military men who kicked him out of the security meeting because of lack of ''stimulation'') the VP

Let us post all these photos showing Osinbade's (abi osinbajo) dullness on his facebook page(s) so that we are guaranteed that he or his family members see(s) them. I believe that if he sees them and understands how we feel about his political dullness and naivety, he will become ''stimulated'' and assert himself.

Do you know that the man is so clueless that he does not even realize that Buhari may have been running foul of the constitution by asking him out of security meetings? He is a professor (albeit without a PhD) and the deputy head of national security for crying out loud.

I love him but the truth is that he is still a mere commissioner.... a VP, number 2 man who can represent Thifnubu is an occasion, leaving his duty post to attend an event for tinubu because tinubu have no time for such occasion... then tell me why he is not a Mere commissioner

The way Osinbajo is (or may seem to be) right now is the same way Jonathan was during the days of Yaradua as President. We thought Jonathan was a dummy until Yaradua died......

The situation at hand require us to caution the overzealous element in Buhai's administration.


As stipulated in the constitution, the Vice-President must not be relegated or excused on every official dealings in Aso-rock.


We thereby ask President Mohamodu Buhari to apologise for this constitutional breach. angry

PYO is a very learned fellow, however this sudden change in environment; from the confines of his office to the stage of international politics is still a shock to his system.

Do you remember GEJ during Yaradua campaign ? He looked like a fish outside water but today he's accorded the respect of an ex-president of FRN.

Those despising PYO's slow start and small beginnings should take note.

If a so-called professor of law can still look like a fish out of water after a rigorous campaign (yes, this past one was the most campaigned for election in the history of Nigeria) that brought him to power as VP, to the extent that he is being OPENLY (emphasis) treated like a leper by the P, then he must be a clueless dummy ab initio.

These are "teething problems"in a marriage of convenience. You and I both know PMB would rather have his VP from the same ethnicity, religion and even professional background as himself but that choice wasn't his to make.
I don't know why some are taking this to mean the VP is deficient intellectually or flawed in personality.

Whatever disregard you think P. Buhari is showing the VP, cannot last for long.

Sooner or later the "P", as you call him, would have to shelve this attitude in his own interest and his party, as well as the interest of national unity.

PYO is not an Atiku, he's not about to run his own show independent of the presidents knowledge or approval. He's a different kind of personality altogether, I mean these guys haven't even moved into Aso Rock yet !

Its too early to judge anyone at this stage, even though you can't resist it. It is still too early. And if you call PYO clueless what do you call Sambo ?

That is not true, Tinubu will be forever respected in the North and by most Northerners, for birthing a successful alliance with us, thereby prying off the claws of the humongous PDP from Nigeria's neck and giving PMB a chance.

It was all politics, Tinubu's unchecked influence on our dear leader was unhealthy.
