That is how it is done. The president announces the appointment of VP aides even though the VP might have been the one that propose them to the president.

Tell me any VP since 1999 from Atiku to GEJ to Sambo that announced his own aides. Even the President can sack the VP aides without recourse to the VP if they fall out with each other. In 2003, OBJ sacked 2 of Atiku aides - Prof Oyovbaire and Garba Shehu (the same one recently appointed by buhari) and Atiku only heard of it on the radio. In January 2007, Obj again sacked all Atiku aides and later recalled 5 of them after the northern elders intervened on behalf of Atiku.

The constitution only allows National Assembly to approve number of special advisers for the president. It is silent on VP aides. So the practice is for the president to share/lent some of the numbers approved with the VP.

I don't get these appointments though. If you are trying to appoint professionals for executive positions I'm guessing then do just that.

These media guys are trained journalists. Journalists cannot manoeuvre and manipulate information. . .well Nigerian journalists. This is the forte of PR guru's. Ask Tony Blaire!

You see a lot of them whose father is not even in charge of their nuclear family because of joblessness come online and call a pastor, professor and vice President a mere commisioner.

Bayo Omobriowo is just 28 and he's travelling the world with the President and sees him on daily basis. He's not older than several Nairaland victims who were hired to pour insults and reason like kindergarten school children on the forum.

In case you missed it, there will be one media office under the presidency, individuals will have separate roles. The President and the Vice are both termed as the Presidency. The Presidency and the Cabinet are together called the Executive.

Get it right, im not pleased using my precious time to teach you basic stuffs.
So now we av 3 spokesperson for just the presidency?
What do they want to say that one person cannot say it. Since its just for the presidency. This is serious WASTAGE! Sure this appointment is just to please somebody that invested in his re election bid.

When you realise the Northerners are enslavening you people the better for you. buhari is using a centralized media team to deceive you people just to appoint one for the mere commissioner, when he already has two assigned to him. In case you don't know, an SSA is a personal aide, only to the person it is assigned to. Office of the Vice President should have its distinct spokeperson, becos it is a distinct and independent unit under the Presidency, with its own staff, security detail and budget. The spokes person is the media officer to the office of the Vice President, which the Vice President is the head and assisted by the Deputy Chief of Staff.
Let me educate you, offices of the President, vice President, SFG, ministers, SSS, EFCC, NNDC, NNPC, ICPC et al are all located in the Presidency or part of the Presidency and the SGF is the Secretary general to this Presidency, while the Chief of Staff is that to the Office of the President.

The Info Minister is the official spokeperson of the Presidency and each of the offices I mentioned aboved has their Media officer, so it is not possible to have a centralized media office for the whole Presidency and another thing you don't know is that, the media aides equally handle domestic or private affairs of their principal, but the Info minister doesn't.

When u realized the Northerners are the sophiscated ones, the better for you.

Am speaking from experience, I have never said what I don't know.

You have no basic stuffs to teach anybody. If you had actually read it, the statement says "President Muhammadu Buhari is set to name a former North American Bureau Chief of The Guardian, Laolu Akande, as a Senior Special Assistant to lead the media and communication unit[b] in the office of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo"[/b] and another portion says

PREMIUM TIMES learnt that under the present arrangement in the presidency, there would be only one presidential media and communication office but that individual appointees would be given separate responsibilities.

The fact is Buhari is appointing somebody to lead the media and communication team[b] in the office of the vice president[/b] which is wrong. The term presidency as nothing to do with appointments, the statement did not say that the SSA for media and communication appointed for the VP would be in charge of media and communication in the presidency . It only say that there would be one presidential media and communication office, which means that whatever comes from the VP and President office must be sanctioned or harmonized by that office so that statements from the president and his aids and that of the VP would be same.

The issue is, is it right for the president to make appointment for his VP? How would the VP relate with the person appointed, won't he be suspecting every move of that guy?
Come to thing of it the president appointed Shehu Garba and Femi Adeshina as his media aids, are they going to be redundant? No, they are working directly with the president on media issues and Laolu Akande the president is appointing for the VP would work directly with the VP. Would he be loyal to the VP or to the President?
What is wrong is wrong, I hope he would not do such appointment

In 9ja, PR seems underdeveloped. A seasoned journalist imbued with impartiality (very few in 9ja by the way) are hardly the best in this kind of job.

PR professionals are far better spin doctors, who can read the mood of a nation at critical times and expertly diseminate information timely.

But since 1999, Presidential spokesmen have been more of attack dogs. Most didn't know when to keep quite or when to avoid mudslinging.

That's the thing about it. The V.P is entitled to his OWN staff. Period. Who can also be a part of the so called media office. What this does is make the VP impotent cause the media assistant is not employed by him but the president. That's just nuts. It is not done anywhere. Will the president also hire the VP's other staff?

segxi1960:
This is incredulous. The President doesn't appoint staffs for the VP.

Someone argued that it's "PRESIDENCY", Yes but the VP is entitled to a retinue of staffs and aides too.

The VP would have more than 1 SSA, would the President be the one to appoint them also ?.

What's next ?, appointing aides for the SP ?.

I believe this is a completely fake and baseless story.
