This is not actually a constructive criticism.

Office of the Vice President is just like Deputy governor of a state.
Tho, the Vice President has more functions and meetings to attend than the Deputy Governors

OP must be an illiterate to be asking about a VP's achievement.

Don't let the principal of a Vice President or Deputy Governor hear that they are claiming achievement in his own regime as chief executive.

The achievement of any deputy is to faithfully execute the tasks assigned by the principal, and to be ready to step into his shoes if the situation arises.

First, I'm of the opinion that the question wasn't necessarily eliciting objectivism, To understand the VP's position you'll have to first Understand the internal dynamics of our government structure (it's basically an issue with the Presidencial System wherever it is found).

A VP is basically a spare President. His boss determines the extent to which his powers extend: that's exactly why you'd find that Chiefs of Staff always wield more power within the corridors of power.

Secondly, while I've never been a fan of the Buhari/Osibanjo marriage, the short time PYO acted in Buhari's stead (Acting-President) I would've given anything to see him continue.

Finally, I wasn't aware the VP owed the Christendom anything.

The achievement of any deputy is to faithfully execute the tasks assigned by the principal, and to be ready to step into his shoes if the situation arises.

VP Osinbajo has achieved what other VP never achieved even while championing the affairs while the presidents were away. We have seen how the state of governance was when Mr. P was away twice for medical trips.

Here are some of the things he has done while as acting alone. What he has achieved as a VP is even massive.


A presidential task force was set up to address the skyrocketing prices of foodstuff across the country, while seven bills passed by the National Assembly were signed into law. Four others were rejected.

Face-to-face talks were held with communities in the creeks of the oil-rich Niger Delta on how to stabilise the region, fix their infrastructure and ensure a hitch-free flow of crude to the international market.

On January 23, Osinbajo presided over the Presidential Business Forum, during which 59 strategies for implementing the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) were unveiled. He later received the special envoy of President Ismail Omar Guelleh of Djibouti.

On January 24, Osinbajo launched the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Clinics at the Old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa. He later proceeded to preside over a meeting of the Presidential Enabling Business Council.
