All appears not to be smooth between President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo as it relates to national security matters.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday met behind closed doors with some security chiefs to marshal the country’s plans that will be presented at a meeting of the Lake Chad Basin Commission in Abuja on Thursday. Vice President Osinbajo was conspicuously absent at this meeting.

National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.); Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Defence, Ismail Aliyu; Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh; and Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Usman Jibrin attended the meeting held inside the Defence House in Abuja.

According to a state house correspondent who spoke to BREAKING TIMES on Wednesday, this is the second time Vice President Osinbajo would be “denied access” into a strategic security briefing with the President. “Normally, the Vice President should be part of these inaugural security briefings because he is the second in command and will deputise for the President in his absence. His absence two times in a row is not healthy at this early stage of their working relationship. We don’t actually know what is going on”, the source said.

Last week Wednesday, June 3r, 2015, The Trent reported exclusively that Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo was ‘locked out’ of President Muhammadu Buhari’s meeting with the National Security Adviser on the orders of President Buhari. According to reports, Vice-President Osinbajo was refused ‘security clearance’ to attend the meeting as a result of security concerns by the Commander-in-Chief allegedly over what he described as a “very sensitive meeting.”

Permanent Secretary at Nigeria’s Ministry of Defence, Ismail Aliyu briefed State House correspondents at the end of today’s meeting, which lasted less more than two hours.

He said they discussed issues relating to the operationalisation of the Multinational Joint Task Force and the contributions of each member state.

He said the President, at the meeting, reiterated his desire to end insurgency in the country and the region in shortest possible time.

Aliyu said, “We came to brief Mr. President on the meeting of the Lake Chad Basin Commission.

President Buhari appears not to be the only one undermining the office of the Vice President. Newly elected Senate President, Bukola Saraki shunned a truce meeting called on Monday by the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Senator Saraki boycotted the meeting after reportedly telling party leaders that as a former governor he could not attend a meeting summoned by a ‘mere commissioner’, referring to Professor Yemi Osinbajo, whose previous public office was as Commissioner of Justice in Lagos State.

Calm down osibade, uu are just a commissioner *iin buhari's voice*

front page ooooo

He's just a mere commissioner afterall

Osibade is an errand boy so he can't attend same meetings with his masters .

Just imagine inviting a mere 'commissioner' to such a high level security meeting. Mtcheeeww! Una never see something. Sai Buhari

Osinbajo is a Vice President for crying out loud and he it is not mandatory for him and the President to be attending to the same issues at the same time.

They have different issues under their control and unless he was invited to the meeting he will not be there.





Osinbajo is not a substantive President that will be sharing office and power with Buhari.

What is he going there to look for? Is he a spy or something? Isn't his office a ''mere appendage''? Abeg he should allow stakeholders discuss serious issues.

it is clear to me that you live in a self contained apartment

Sambo even presides over cabinet and security meetings when Gej is out on official assignment,again what's the big deal.

U guys should stop complaining. There is a difference btwn vice, deputy and assistant.

If pdp never knew, Apc knows.

jobsat34:
These Job titles are better understood when you categorize them in terms of
Job Dependency, Responsibility, Reporting, delegation and Succession.

VICE XYZ:
Though he is a step below XYZ, his Job however does not depend on XYZ as he does not share responsibility with XYZ but share the same Goal. Systematically we can say that, out of 10 KRA (key responsibility area) VICE XYZ take responsibility for maybe 3 while XYZ himself take 7.
He holds almost the highest authority in reporting, due to the fact that he is the head in his area of KRA, but he is somehow under the supervision of XYZ for check and balance (but not necessarily reporting to XYZ in area of his KRA).

Delegation of Duty is mostly minimal as he cannot make decision on behalf of XYZ, but can represent XYZ in his area of KRA. Chance of Succeeding XYZ is high.

This job title is mostly found in Academics where we have VP Admin and VP Academics, all with different JD from the Principal who is the head

jobsat34:
Deputy XYZ:

He more or less understudies XYZ. His job solely depend on XYZ as in most cases, does not has his own area of responsibility, neither does he takes responsibility for his action.

He acts solely on instruction by XYZ in the case of KRA. Systematically, we can say that out of 10 KRA, Deputy XYZ deputizes for 3, but he is not the highest officer in these 3 KRA (which he might not get any if XYZ decides otherwise).

He is submissive to XYZ not only reporting.
Delegation of duty is his speciality as he is next point of call whenever XYZ is not available. Chance of succeeding XYZ is almost impossible (except in the case of electoral offices).

jobsat34:
Assistant XYZ:

He understudies, Complement, assist, act and can even deputize for XYZ.
His Job is dependent on XYZ but it is also fair to say that XYZ also depend on him. He is involved in almost every area of the KRA, as he is actively involved in the buildup process to each of the KRA. In fact he is part and parcel of XYZ.

He doesn’t take responsibility for his action. Systematically, we can say that, out of 10 KRA, he does not take responsibility for any but get involved in almost all (of the 10KRA).

He is reporting to XYZ.
Part of XYZ duty can be delegated to him (competence based) while chances of succession is very high (in fact most organization preference especially when considering continuation)

never believe someone even read this thread when i created it...
yu prove me otherwise.. thanks for ur recognition

this guy is a vice president with his own area of responsibility.. he cannot by any means interfere or take responsibility in his boss area of responsibility..
he is not meant to be in that meeting and even if he has any contribution, that will have to be between him and his boss....
