Nigeria Can Be Fixed By Giving The Vice President Powers by PortHardcore: 1:10am On Jun 18, 2021
What exactly is the role of Osinbajo?

Attending Funerals?Taking photos?

Lets ammend the constitution to give Osinbajo powers.

Executive Orders
The president shall issue executive orders,BUT the executive orders must be approved by the Vice President.
Eg. The banning of social media must have been approved by Osinbajo.

MEANING.
That all executive orders given by Buhari MUST be approved by Osinbajo!

This means that none of these bad orders that Buhari declares would be legitimate.

SO Buhari would not be able to ban twitter,WITHOUT Osinbajo's permission.
Buhari cannot send security operatives to South East or South West without Osinbajos permission.

The president shall issue executive orders,BUT the executive orders must be AGREED WITH the Vice President
Eg. The banning of social media must have been agreed with Osinbajo.

MEANING.
That all executive orders given by Buhari MUST be AGREED WITH Osinbajo!

This means that none of these bad orders that Buhari declares himself without prior agreement with Osinbajo would be legitimate.

SO Buhari would not be able to ban twitter,WITHOUT Osinbajo's permission. Yes.
Buhari cannot send security operatives to South East or South West without Osinbajos permission. COOOOORECT.

I would love to see that because roles delegated to him by his boss, he never failed to deliver. I'm sure if the constitutional roles are more, this country would have been more impacted positively.

The executive functions of the Nigerian vice president includes participation in all cabinet meetings and, by statute, membership in the National Security Council, the National Defence Council, Federal Executive Council, and the Chairman of National Economic Council.

So far, Osinbajo will be the first VP in Nigeria who has brought or added value to the office of the vice president.

Atiku, Sambo, and Jonathan, only occupied the office as figurehead when they were in power as vice president.

This gives assurance that if APC can nominate Osinbajo as presidential flag bearer in 2023, He will perform excellently well.
Re: Nigeria Can Be Fixed By Giving The Vice President Powers by Jhayphil: 7:46am On Jun 18, 2021
It will be a good step because we know how intelligent Prof Osinbajo is and the quality of leadership we witnessed when he was acting president.

Osinbajo is more than capable to lift this country higher

That is why we are giving the Vice President REAL POWER.
This country would be far better off if the Vice President had the power to balance out the President.

Why is this so difficult to understand?

This means that if in 2023 Nigeria elects Shekau as president,we will have a Vice President that will face all of Shekau's craziness... wink

So suppose we elect Shekau as President and Oby Ezekwili as Vice President.

Shekau would need Oby's permission[ to change Nigeria's language to Arabic cool

Or Shekau would need Oby's permisiion to appoint Boko Haram members as Head of Police in Southern States. lipsrsealed

Ok.
And if the Security Council tells Buhari not to invade the South East,Does Buhari have to listen?

If the National Defense council tells Buhari not to give Boko Harem money,Does Buhari have to listen?

If the Federal Executive council tells Buhari not to Ban twitter,does Buhari Have to listen?

If The national Economic Council tells Buhari Not to devalue the Naira,Does Buhari have to listen?

Why are you opposed to giving the Vice President real power? angry

Osinbande , who is he??


Ooh the mere commissioner
Re: Nigeria Can Be Fixed By Giving The Vice President Powers by Nobody: 6:56am On Jun 20, 2021
I used to be an advocate of this osinbajo but today i don't

He is just an hypocrite, he is part and parcel of this government no matter how much we try to defend him from it.

I don't see why a Prof/San/pastor/lawyer would allow himself to not just be rubbished by this administration but also refuse to voice out at critical times

No matter the so called good heart you have, I expected him to resign in protest, go abroad if you can't criticize from there at least you have proven to be a man

You have proven to have character, then let buhari fully be seen as the bigot he is instead of the free PR job you do for him at town Hall meetings

You have proven to be loyal to buhari but the buhari has never repayed your loyalty instead he makes you a public jest, why not resign save your reputation which you brought in 2015

This way the world would now know we officially run a government of the north for the north

So the Vice President "participates" in all cabinet meetings. grin
Can you show me how Osinbajo and Sambo participating in cabinet meetings has helped Nigeria?

Can you show me how the Vice president being a member of the security council has prevented Buhari from making Nigeria's security worse?

Can you show me how Osinbajo being a part of the Federal Executive Council has made Nigeria a better place.

Can you show me how any Vice President being "Chairman" of the National Economic Council has made Nigeria prosper?

Also,WHAT POWER DOES THE NATIONAL ECONOMIC COUNCIL HAVE?
WHAT POWER DO ANY OF THESE COUNCILS HAVE?!!!!
Abi! Their just there to advise!!!!

Why do Africans love giving all the power to ONE PERSON!

You Have 5 different Councils and all these Councils Can do is "talk talk talk".

I propose that we do away with useless positions like "councils" and make the Vice President actually have REAL POWER AND A REAL EXECUTIVE ROLE!
