Buhari Is First President To Handover Power To His Vice by Nobody: 2:04am On Feb 06, 2017
This would not be his first shot at discharging the functions of the Office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is not also the second. It is Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s third, since May 29, 2015. He is fast learning the job and also proving himself a dependable ally of Mr. President.

In Nigeria, despite the sacred dictates of the constitution, sitting presidents are not usually known to be generous transferers of the powers of their office to their deputies; instead, they choose to delegate such powers to their Chief of Staff or a “Kitchen Cabinet” Minister.

But that has never been the case with the present administration.

Keen observers of Nigeria’s political experiment since the return of democracy in 1999 would recall that the scenario hardly existed between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and his Vice, Atiku Abubakar.

Such was still not the case between the late President Umaru Yar’Adua and his former deputy.

But in the present regime, delegating the presidential powers to a deputy has never been a big deal for President Buhari who has always done that.

In the course of his service to the nation in the Fourth Republic, he has had to publicly transfer the powers of his office to his vice
This means dat acting president yemi osinbajo is currently acting in the position of the commander in chief of the armed forces of the federal republic of Nigeria nd holds all the power.
