Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja

The Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, on Thursday night met behind closed doors with some principal officers of the House of Representatives.

The meeting which was held inside Osinbajo’s official residence, Aguda House, inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja was said to have started at about 10pm.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, led other principal officers to the meeting.

Some presidential aides also joined Osinbajo at the meeting which was believed to be part of efforts aimed at resolving the row between the National Assembly and the Executive.

The House of Representatives had on Tuesday handed down a seven-day ultimatum to the Acting President to inaugurate the two ministers-designate that were screened by the Senate in May.


The Senate has also been at loggerheads with the Executive over the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, who has remained in office despite that the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly had rejected his nomination twice.

Osinbajo had so far failed to inaugurate the two ministers who were on May 3 confirmed by the Senate, Stephen Ocheni (Kogi) and Suleiman Hassan (Gombe).

The slots of Kogi and Gombe States in the federal cabinet had been vacant following the death of the Minister of State for Labour, Mr. James Ocholi (SAN), in an accident on March 6, 2016; and the appointment of former Minister of the Environment, Amina Mohammed, as the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations.

The Acting President had also told State House correspondents on Wednesday that he had no date in mind for the inauguration.

Politics Vs The Politicians

yawa

I feel bad for osinbanjo.

All his Afonja brothers have abandoned him to face Biafran issues.

The poor man is fighting all his battle alone..

Too bad

The hustle is becoming real



Life don't offer you what you deserve

It offers you what you negotiate for


Negotiate wisely for what you deserve

Well done PYO

They should be talking how to impeach that useless Lion in London.

Nice move. If mr A is not ready to yield, mr B might. Besides, mr A needs mr B even if mr A is bent on impeaching you.

Mr A=Reps. Mr B=Osinbajo. You=Mr B=Osinbajo

You are welcome.

baba should quietly resign or risk his ??aso rock is cursed, he doesn't need a prophet to tell him that.

Who cares if they meet in motel..
Do you think they will be meeting in close door if they were discussing what benefits the masses..

It has been personal interest since day one in Nigeria..
Nonsense party killing Nigeria n Nigerians gradually..

Door to za oza room?

Light and darkness can never live together, one must give way to the other no matter how long.

am proud to be a political scientist , but Nigeria politics

Na so so "closed door" meetings we dey hear for news these days

This administration is the less democratic since 1999.
They hardly communicate about the president's condition to the public through the press, always keeping to themselves through "closed door" meetings.

When election comes up, they will open their doors for votes to come in

Osinbajo should stop all these praise singing and meetings, and readjust himself for the battle against the incoming government of Bukola Saraki and the cabals.

Whether he like it or not, they will fight him and throw him out of Presidency. He better forget Pastorship and fight. Nigerians will only be behind him if he braces up and fight and not swinging on both sides like pendulum.

WHEN WILL THEY FINALLY DECIDE TO TELL US THE TRUTH THAT BUBU IS DEAD.

English language sef

Don't they usually close the doors in their other meetings?

(Happy weekend!)

The man is dead die and will be flown back like the other President who was also brain dead and smuggled into the country by the middle of the night.

Cownu and his gang of charlatans prayers have worked.

I can remember telling myself last two weeks that no matter the amount of money i will have in this life that i will ensure that helping people becomes a difficult thing for me, perhaps because i tried everything possible2 get help n pay my last semester fee but none of the people i approach could help, include people i ... but now i think i should change my mind and be a source of blessing to those that will need my help.

however this change of mind would be encourage if i could get 10k from someone with a good heart to pay for suspension of studies and pay for my project pepper to be printout before tuesday. Thanks
