It seems Vice President Yemi Osinbajo lied, when he said the presidency is not in receipt of communication as regarding the Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Bill 2018 during the #NgTheCandidates chat.

Recall that Osinbajo and Buhari told the event's moderator Kadaria Ahmed ,that they had no knowledge of the status of the bill and that said bill had not been transmitted to the presidency for assent.

THERE ARE ABOUT 25 MILLION PEOPLE WITH SOME FORM OF DISABILITY IN NIGERIA AND PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHAT THIS GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO DO ABOUT IT”, AHMED ASKED, BEFORE GOING ON TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE DISABILITY BILL “THAT WAS TRANSMITTED TO YOU BY THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY AND WHICH YOU HAVEN’T SIGNED".

After a brief silence, Osinbajo who gave the correct name of the bill to the president, Buhari said: “I think we sent to the national assembly”. 

They returned it to you”, said Ahmed.

“I am not aware of that”, Osinbajo shot back in his boss' defense.

“It’s been returned”, Ahmed doubled down.
