The Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Babajide Omoworare, on Wednesday said President Muhammadu Buhari did not undermine the office of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, by travelling without transmitting a letter that would allow him to act, to the National Assembly.

Omoworare who addressed journalists in Abuja alongside his colleague in the House of Representatives, Mr. Umar El-Yakub, insisted that the President was free to perform his functions from anywhere in the world.

He said, “Contrary to the claims by some individuals and groups, The President has not in any way undermined or relegated the office of the Vice President. He has no reason to do so.

“I don’t think there is any way or manner that the office of the Vice President has been relegated.

“The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria can work from anywhere he is in the world.”

He explained that the only case where people could raise issues is when a President is ill and was unable to communicate his absence to the National Assembly.

Omoworare said, “The only celebrated case was that of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, who was Ill and could not transmit any letter to the National Assembly.

“The National Assembly had to work round the situation by ensuring that the executive powers go to the vice president.”

He said the situation now was different from the Yar’Adua case and that Buhari had not done anything wrong by not transferring executive powers to his deputy before embarking on his foreign trips.

None of our business, the fixing of the problem confronting this country is the business we have with them and if they are not ready to fix it, they should pack and go otherwise, something sudden will push them out

Rubbish

If Trump can ask Ukraine to investigate Biden which amounts to an impeachable offence,then my country leaders are busy saying rubbish,how come where dis retards born in Nigeria

Ok

The problem we are facing here is more than transmitting power. We know we have entered one chance, if Bubu like he should relocate to UK on permanent basis. We don't care here cos his presence has no meaning. Cabals are the one functioning. Everyone should face front and hustle had jare. This government is the joke of the century.

Misplaced priorities. Boris Johnson should come to Nigeria and oversee the affairs of UK from Nigeria

When Buhari is out of government you will say another different thing

afonjas can ass-lick d devil jst to get something 4rm him

I don't understand how Nigerian politicians play politics. The president has a right to work from anywhere in the world. I don't know why some people would try to cause a rift between the north and the west simply because their choice didn't win the elections....it's so pathetic

When Atiku was the vp or when sambo was the vp did we know their names.why Are you guys so pained

Osinbajo has nothing to loose.. Worst case scenario is that he finishes buhari's tenure with him and is sidelined.. This is still a huge feat considering his political history.

We hear

Why didn't he contest the presidential elections from UK? If he can govern from any part of the world then he should have contested as well from any part of the world.

Nigeria is grossly irredeemable from absurdities and foolish rationalizations that are utterly senseless and dumb.

Too much grammar............................do you think that the Oga can understand?
Let me see if I can simplify things here.

Buhari has committed 3 impeachable offences:

1. A president of a country can not go to another country for a private visit lasting 10 days.

2. A president of a country can not go to another country for a private visit lasting 10 days without transmitting power to VP.

3. A president of a country can not go to another country for a private visit lasting 10 days using public funds.


National Assembly should do the needful.
