These photos help shut up stories about Buhari sidelining Osinbajo (LOOK)

October 19, 2015



After the current administration was inaugurated – before Pres. Muhammadu Buhari had made any appointments or even moved to Aso Rock which was undergoing renovation – the president held a series of meeting with the then service chiefs. Some confidantes of the President like minister-to-be Abdulrahman Dambazau and Customs Boss Hameed Ali, were present at those two meetings but vice president Yemi Osinbajo wasn’t.

Osinbajo’s absence led to rumours and even blog stories that the President was deliberately sidelining the Vice president for a number of reasons including his religion and the fact that – according to the stories – Osinbajo was loyal to Buhari.

Those stories are harder to come by these days, mainly because of the volume of responsibilities which Buhari now forwards to his vice president. Every now and then reports come all the same, like the famous story about the Osinbajo and El-Rufai clash which the presidency continues to deny to this day, but in all there is less talk about Osinbajo being sidelined and the photos below are part of the reason why.

Osinbajo is now a regular at those meetings which he was not a part of at the beginning. Today he was with the president at a meeting with the service chiefs. The meeting is coming in the wake of the recent suicide attacks in the North East which have led to the loss of scores of lives in recent weeks.

In that case, why not draw some comfort from the 'knowledge' that your wails were heard all the way in Aso Rock

Never a dull moment on NL, I tell you.
