“No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems – of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two.

Whatever is number three is far behind.” TS


#2023 already in play..

Really powerful like paper tiger.

In the area of condolence ...... Yes.





In practical......... No.

See who Buhari handed over to aa leaves for UN

Old age is catching up with this guy. Most of his utterances this days depicts a man who is extremely deluded.

GeneralPula:
Since 1999, there has not been a smooth working relationship between the President and Vice- President like we have now between Buhari and Osinbajo


The truth is always the truth from here to Pluto!

Don’t ever listen to the chest beaters when it comes to the country’s affairs!

They’ve never been wise, till now they’re still as dump as a man intending to catch a bird with his bare hands!

What stupid smooth working relationship are you talking about? A Vice President that has no say in the running of a good he's supposed to be the no 2 man, a vice resident who's sent to distribute money to market women when important decisions are to be taken. What nonsense?

I'll rather have an Obasanjo and Atiku kind of relationship than have my boss treat me the way Abba Kyari (never mind Buhari) is treating Osibanjo. Remember how the 2017 budget was sent to Buhari in his hospital bed to sign when there was an acting president sitting lame duckky in Aso Rock?
That to you is smooth working relationship?

Stop deluding yourself bro, the cabals have so very low respect and opinion of Osibanjo.

My pain is we never learn and we keep making excuse for the North's ill treatment of the South. The same people being oppressed are the same people making excuses for their oppressors. It's a shame.

This man is deliberately ignorant of the happenings. ABBA kyari and them Boss are pulling strings that may help them position next president with the help of Amosun. Prof had no single input to the minister list. Amosun has put like 5 people in federal positions. He even brags he’s not done yet with federal boards. That’s a lot of power. Buhari no fit grasp all those documents. Na them Kyari dey explain to am and how they will do it. But he’s right they can’t remove Prof

kalvoken:
What a joke!

Is just like saying Mrs obafemi Hamzat the debuty of Lagos state is more powerful than tinubu.

Who says that I mean who in his right sense says that

Hamzat don turn transgender?

Toks2008:



If the Hausas can be reasonable enough, we all should support Osinbajo/Obi ticket then after 8 years we move to Obi/Any good northerner.

APC will never throw up Obi as VP,it will never happen. People are just spreading fake news, they said worse about Tinubu that you would think tinubu would be totally irrelevant by now. Unfortunately, people only believe junks that makes them happy

ValCon888:
This Tony Momoh is deluded. Anybody who also believes there is no cabal is high on the same weed this man is smoking.
I wish the whole south can unite to rid ourselves of this northern burden. They are the ones holding us back. They cling onto power at all cost and can't use it to better the lives of their people.

"I wish" in your write up actually made me smile.

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Prince Tony Momoh, a former Minister of Information, is one of the national leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The former National Chairman of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change (CPC) in this interview with TEMIDAYO AKINSUYI, speaks on the alleged plot to remove Vice- President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo by a powerful cabal in the Presidency. Excerpts:

As one of the national leaders of the APC, what is your take on the news making rounds of an attempt by some powerbrokers to remove Vice- President Yemi Osinbajo?

The Vice-President is busy doing his job and nobody is planning to remove him. How can anybody say they are planning to remove him? What offence has he committed?


There are reports that cabals in the Presidency are behind his travails…

(Cuts in) Which cabal? People are just playing politics. As far as I am concerned, there is only one Presidency, not two; the President and the Vice- President. Since 1999, there has not been a smooth working relationship between the President and Vice- President like we have now between Buhari and Osinbajo. So, what is the proof that they want to remove the Vice- President or reduce his powers? Is it because of the Economic Advisory Team set up by the President? What is wrong with that? He did that to smoothen operation and to ensure that we move to the Next Level. In the struggle to fight corruption, unite the country and to address the country, any decision taken to improve the status or the level of achievements of the programme that the administration has cut for itself, why should that be misinterpreted as an attempt to remove the Vice- President or to undermine him? Is the Vice- President no longer the Vice- President? Why are people so mischievous? Who are the cabals they are talking about?

Are you saying there is no cabal in Aso Villa?
What is the name of the cabal? Is there any group called cabal? After the President, we have the Vice- President and then all other staff there are personal staff. We have the Chief of Staff, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), the Ministers and Special Advisers. These people are there to help the President who is the only person on whose table the buck stops. If you look at the constitution, every person is working to enhance the work of the President. They do the work assigned to them by the President and there are some offices too that the constitution itself assigns. So, I really don’t know what people mean by the word ‘cabal’. If by cabal, they mean a group of political appointees who are powerful enough to create problems for the advancement of government, that is natural in the management of affairs of men. But the fact is, how much elbow do you give them to operate? When they operate to such an extent that they become a nuisance, then one must call their bluff. So, who is this cabal that people are talking about? Is it the Secretary to the Government of the Federation? Is it the Chief of Staff ? Is it the Permanent Secretaries in the Ministries that constitute themselves as cabals or the Ministers? Are these cabals outsiders in government or is it the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria that is the cabal? Is it the national chairman of the party that is the cabal or members of the National Working Committee? Are they political or financial cabals? Are these cabals faceless? People are just speculating. The Vice-President and the President are together. They have never quarreled and there is no cause for them to quarrel. The fact is that at the end of the day, the buck stops on the table of the President.

But what if the rumour about Osinbajo’s removal now comes out to be true?

You think it is easy to remove the Vice- President. During Obasanjo’s time, they tried to remove Atiku, did they succeed? Atiku as Vice- President even stood on the platform of another party to contest because the position of the Vice- President is a constitutional one. There is a procedure for accepting that position and there is a procedure for removal or for leaving that position. Why are people just giving the impression that the office of the Vice- President is like that of a houseboy who can be sent packing anytime?

In the present administration, who do you think is more powerful between Vice- President Yemi Oinbajo and Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff?

How can the Chief of Staff be powerful than the Vice-President? The Chief of Staff is a personal staff of the President while the office of the Vice-President is a constitutional one. Do you see the role of the Chief of Staff in the constitution? He is a personal staff of the President. When the President is going on vacation or indisposed, he writes to the National Assembly handing over to the Vice- President, why can’t he handover to his Chief of Staff ? The Chief of Staff is a person who moderates the movements of the President. He is the one who schedules the President’s affairs. Everyone who wants to see the President must pass through the Chief of Staff because he is like a gatekeeper to the President. From morning till night, he is at the beck and call of the President and should be the person who is closest to the President. Is that what makes him powerful than the Vice-President? The Vice-President also has a Deputy Chief of Staff who serves him. Anybody who wants to see the Vice-President must pass through the office of the Deputy Chief of Staff who is the Chief of Staff to the Vice –President. Even me as a person, I have my own Chief of Staff. If anyone wants to see me, he goes through my Chief of Staff.

Jonathan Vs Sambo

No cabal in Aso Rock ? That's like saying there is no Mafia in Sicily ! Abba Kyari is the face of Aso Rock's cabal.

They just had their 8year term so why not?

Well maybe osinbanjo/elrufai or any other northerner

emkz:
When did Chief of Staff become an issue in our polity? I don't even remember Obasanjo's Chief of Staff or Yar'adua's. I remember Jonathan's, Ogiadomhe; who had to be removed when he was feeling too powerful.

I think the problem is Abba Kyari is too visible, and the President trusts him. He may be in the know of state secrets unknown to the Vice President. But I don't think he is as powerful as the media wants to make it seem. He is still there because he seems to protect the interest of the President and those closer to him. The real powers behind the throne are Issa Funtua and that Buhari's cousin, I don't remember his name. Those are the real problems, Abba Kyari is the one we see all the time.

Abba is the head of the cabal

Abba kyari control things in the country since 1909... If I want job in nnpc just signature of Abba kyari will get me the job but signature of yemi oshibajo may not get me the job o...

How I wish I'm related to Abba kyari, I for just dey make things happen anywhere....


The almighty Abba kyari... Enjoy your reigning while buhari remain the figure head president.

On paper?

We can't accept North/North ticket down South too.

Office of the Vice President is constitunal, agree, but it doesn't have any constitunal role. It is any functions assigned by President to Vice President dat it will carry out, so therefore, it is safe to likened dat office to an errand boy to d President.

God bless you! You know d main package. Tony Momoh is just being economical with d truth.

No solid conviction yet tho but qualifications like: 'ordinary', 'gateman', 'just', 'personal staff', 'beck and call' and he even almost addressed him as 'omo odo' have given me a sigh of relief that Abba Kyari guy is over-hyped!
Apart for the fact that Buhari did not hand over to Abba Kyari while traveling to US, it was still Osinbajo he handed over to, so why the un-brilliant speculations from the opposition?

hisexcellency34:
Abba Kyari that is more powerful than Buhari himself

Who did diz to u
U need another head
Continue ur wacko-jacko in foolishness

myfan:
Let's see it. He should prove that.

osinbajo should sack him before buhari comes back ba?
have you proven that abba kyari is more powerful than the vp?
poverty will not kii your reasoning...
