The apex northern soci-cultural group, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), yesterday said that the Nigerian constitution did not assign any role specifically for the office of the vice president and cautioned some Nigerians against fuelling crisis in the presidency.

ACF’s secretary general, Mr Anthony Sani, while reacting to insinuation by some Nigerians that the office of the vice had been relegated, said the constitution empowers the president to assign roles to the vice president.

“I am finding it hard to make out why the hue and cry about what is happening in the office of the vice president by way of some reorganisation of some functions and reassignment of some staff in the vice president’s office by the presidency.

“More so that both the presidency and the vice president have dispelled any misconception that there is a crimp between the president and the vice president,” Sani said, insisting that the constitution did not provide for any specific roles for the office of the vice president.

“Any function performed by the office of the vice president are at the pleasure of the president who has the right to assign and reassign both functions and the staff in the office of the vice president.

“If Mr President has decided to reorganise some of the functions hitherto performed by the office of the vice president as well as to reduce the reported 80 staff in the office of the vice president by 35 staff for performance, it is the constitutional discretion of Mr President to do so, and there should be no qualms,” Sani said.

As regards the president’s not transmitting a letter to the national assembly and not handing over to the vice president this time around that he travelled out, Sani said it was important to note that the constitution makes transmission of the letter mandatory only when the president would be absent from his duty post for at least 21 days.

“If the days of the absence from duty post are less than 21 days, I believe the president has the discretion to either transmit the letter to the national assembly and hand over to his sidekick or not. If the president has chosen to exercise his constitutional discretion this time around not to transmit the letter to NASS and hand over to the vice president because the days of his absence are less than 21 days, that is his constitutional right,” Sani added.

He said the current developments in the office of the vice president are not enough signs of a divided presidency, adding that the presidency had made clear of that.

“More so that the principal actors have said there is no problems between them.

But should there be any crimp in the presidency, my plead is for the president and the vice president to work hard and overcome what is trying to put the presidency asunder.This is very necessary because only purposeful leadership that comes from united presidency with clear thought and morality can deliver on the promise of the electoral mandate freely given by Nigerians,” he said.

These Northerners are so crazy about the constitution.

They want us to believe they know this bastardised constitution more than the good people of southern Nigeria.

Meaning it was the fear of Saraki that always forced the president to transmit power to the VP in his first term.

All the posters above are pure hypocrites, the VP post they forget, NO LEFLENDUM, NO ERECTION, shouting Atikutation, Obituary up-and-down . Oh is now VP Administration ; Hypocrite kill you there. Or was it another VP post of Biafra land then

Nothing you can tell me ACF..

ABBA Kyari is the defacto Vice President and Osibanjo na VP Academics aka audio VP

Hahahahahahahahaha

Na who come be VP admin

Nothing wey Yemi no go see for Aso Rock.

There's no argument. Only some zombies from the SW thought they can do collabo with the North, they refused to learn from history.

Nairaland is full of toddlers and lazy youths, Atiku-Obi is collabo of Biafra Land, some people are so daft or talking to hear their voices.

it is obvious the analysis is not far-fetched ,but does it show fairness ?

Edygrin:
Mark my words, the north will still return to power come 2023.

LIFELESS: kyari ,WHAT are this one saying ,some Yorubas want to disagree with this?


Abba : leave those Yorubas , they are deceiving themselves ... Abokis own this country , we will continue to rule till the end of time

What was done to Abiola and Awolowo will be like analogue child play compared to the digital tsunami the North will show the SW in 2023. Tinubu and his goons will rue the day they fractured southern unity. Whichever Northerner the cabal nominate will be the next president.

Charleys:
They called the VP a sidekick,

They have turned the VP as office assistant, that boy wey them dey send go outside go buy mineral for them.

Just read it.

That is your own pedestrian understanding.

"can deliver on the promise
of the electoral mandate freely given
by Nigerians,”

what was/is the promise?

whether the rift exist or not but I know there are some forces either from outside or inside the presidency who are on the course of weakening Hausa/Yoruba political friendship by giving Yorubas to be grievance just to stain their political ambition in 2023 but unfortunately this won't deterred Yorubas.


I'm glad Yoruba elders understand this political Machiavellianism hence why they told Osibanjo to remained firm. as a Yoruba Man, I'm telling Osibanjo to remain focus and support the dullard in whatever way he can within the constitution of Nigeria


this is nothing new, gej was humiliated, Atiku was, even Sambo that was not, were silent in Gej govt.

In Nigeria the Hausa has Zero literacy

If Osibanjo had any sense and dignity, he will resign. But then they will accuse him of fraud and efcc will be after him.

Igbo should be ashamed. since democracy that your kinsmen truncated with their political overzealous behaviour returned this country, even minority tribe had rise to the position number 2 and number 1 of this country but you're here mocking a tribe that had rule this country for 8yrs, VP for 8yrs and still hoping to be president again


Igbo should be shameful sometimes
