No Programme Of Event Has Been Scheduled For Osinbajo As Acting President- Today by alcmene: 11:02am On Feb 08, 2016
Barely 24 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari transmitted power to the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, there were indications yesterday that the next few days might be uneventful at the Aso Rock Villa.

It was gathered that the only major event major event expected to hold at the Villa will be the visit of the President of Germany, Joachim Gauck, but Osinbajo will not be performing that function because it was not part of the responsibilities passed on to him.


As at press time yesterday, the Protocol Unit of the Presidency was yet to schedule any other event which the “Acting President” would superintend over during his five-day tenure.

Apart from the daily bureaucratic routines which Osinbajo has been used to, it was unclear what other specific duties of the President he would be handling in the absence of his boss.
Presidency sources confirmed yesterday that since the President has proceeded on vacation, no programme of event has been scheduled for him (Osinbajo) by the protocol team.

The source said that since Friday when Buhari began the vacation, all programme of events in the presidential villa were being handled by the protocol unit in the Office of the Vice President, a clear indication that Osinbajo was in charge.

“You know that the President proceeded on the vacation from London so, no programme was prepared for him.
The only event that was confirmed by his protocol team even before he departed from the United Kingdom is a scheduled reception for the German President Joachim Gauck on Thursday next week when he (Buhari) will be resuming duties.
President Gauck and his partner Daniela Schadt will be in Nigeria from February 8-12, for an official visit.


It was gathered that on resumption on Thursday, President Buhari will host the visiting German President and his team to a dinner at the presidential villa, Abuja.
Buhari officially handed over the leadership of the country to Osinbajo on Friday, a decision the Presidency said was to enable Buhari to embark on a five day vacation which would be completely free from the rigors of state matters.

Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said President Buhari had transmitted a letter to the leadership of the National Assembly to intimidate them of the vacation in compliance with Section 145 of the Nigerian Constitution.

The statement said that, “while President Buhari is on vacation, the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo will perform the functions of the President.”
Section 145 of the Constitution of Nigeria states thus: “Whenever the President transmits to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives a written declaration that he is proceeding on vacation or that he is otherwise unable to discharge the functions of his office, until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary such functions shall be discharged by the Vice- President as Acting President.”

This clause was inserted into the Nigerian Constitution in 2010 after the power tussle that ensued in 2009 when the late President, Alhaji Umar Musa Yar Adua proceeded on an emergency and later prolonged medical vacation without handing over power to his then deputy, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, thereby creating a power vacuum.
As if to make matters worse, Yar Adua also failed to transmit a letter to the National Assembly informing them of his absence.

Misleading headline.
The German president is coming on Thursday.
PMB will be back from vacation before the German president visit.
At that time, Osibanjo will not longer be acting president.

There is no issue here.

Did you read the post at all?

The president and his partner will be in Nigeria from 8, which is today to 12th February when PMD will resume and he will host them at Aso villa on that 12th.

All these Zombies don't even bother to read, they just jump into defending why they lack what Ben Murray Bruce and Wailers have in abundance, common sense.

I don't know how this is newsy. The Newspaper admitted that the VP office is handling events in the Presidency, whixh signifies control. How do they expect the VP/agPresident to attend to President Gauwk when the President will be available on that day?

And what exactly is the motive behind the sensational title of this report?

The German president will have activities in both Lagos and Abuja, and would be having dinner with President Buhari when he returns on Thursday. The VP who is currently acting on behalf of PMB would apparently be welcoming the German president when he arrives today, so what exactly is the reason behind this thread and its sensational title?

Obviously the sensational title was crafted specifically by a wailer to give orgasmic feelings to his fellow wailers as can already be seen from the comments on the thread so far. But even at that, I still can't understand what is really exciting about this reports (from a wailer's perspective). I thought the person most of you guys hated dearly was PMB himself? lipsrsealed

We know you don't like this government but next time write the heading as contained in the article. We must not sensationalize everything. There is no where in the article where it was written that osinbajo was barred from receiving the German leader. When we all begin to criticize leaders of either APC/PDP unnecessarily,it becomes childish.

What you guys have failed to understand is that I have little or no concern with the heading of the topic or even the main message. I just corrected a PMD supporter whom despite seeing red said it's yellow.

How does that denotes or connotes to being happy with the headline?
You guys want misinterprete my correction to bigotry?
