The Director General, Media and Communications , the Kano State Government , Salihu Yakasai , drew the ire of several Nigerians by referring to the Vice President , Prof Yemi Osinbajo , as “ vice president academics” on Twitter .

Yakasai, via his account, @dawisu , on Tuesday , posted the controversial tweet , which seemed to mock the Vice President , in response to another user , Ismail Kabir , who had said, “ It seems everyone in Nigeria is in New York for UN Assembly. ”

The tweet was in reference to the attendance of President Muhammadu Buhari and several top Nigerian government officials at the United Nations General Assembly in the United States .
Ganduje ’s aide , however, replied , “ Vice President ( Academics ) is still around sir .”

Yakasai’ s tweet drew reactions from several Nigerians , particularly amid speculation that Osinbajo ’ s role in the Buhari administration is being whittled down by powerful personalities close to the President .

Nigerians expressed outrage over the tweet with “ VP Academics ” among the top Twitter trends on Wednesday evening .
After coming under fire , Yakasai described himself as Osinbajo ’s “ huge fan . ”

But @dsalahu replied , “ Oga , a huge fan of the VP would not supposedly jokingly refer to him as ‘ VP academics ’ at a time like this , it sounds distasteful coming from a governor ’s spokesperson . This backlash is justified .”

@JA _ Anva , said, “ VP Academics is that office you put an important person whom you wish to render powerless for a long time .”

Too much hype from Ganduje’s aide. Osinbanjo is VP on Funeral and Condolence visits.

He should be fired immediately

Officialgarri:
He should be fired immediately

For hyping Osinbanjo You guys are so much ungrateful.

Most northerners know this is correct and to me this is the exact truth.the real VP administration is Abba Kyari

While those from the SW sees Osibanjo as VP, those in the north sees him as VP academics.

Osinbajo should be grateful he called him VP, what about those calling him errand boy

Officialgarri:
He should be fired immediately

For saying the truth abi?

Osinbajo, VP academics.

Abba Kyari , Vice President, Federal Republic of Nigeria .

Professor of law my ass.
See how he's running up and down the whole place threatening everyone like a semi illiterate .

If Osinbajo got balls, He should go ahead and sue anyone , I bet his ass will be bursted open the more .

Yahoo yahoo boy .

The other day, Gov. Umahi of Ebonyi sacked his media aide for mispresenting government position on a sensitive issues.

And now this this show of shameless unprofessionalism and carelessness from Gov. Ganduje's aide.

Sad trend.

Let the whole world see this.

This is what you get when you think you can go it alone.
Political sophisticates. More like orphans without a southern cover.
And the north likes it that way.
Easier to control.

Why are they treating this man like this? May be...just may be....This man may not be innocent as he claims!!!

May be....Just May be....All these his media threat to those speaking out is just to save face....

Bloggers always looking for stories where there's none.
