Like Osibanjo like Atiku. They called Atiku all type of Name but try to make Osibanjo a Saint Yoruba and hypocrisy is like 5 & 6. If Mike Pence is a good man nothing will make Trump to be so radical, a president never work alone if you have head an organisation or institutions you will know that most of the work designated to president are done by Vice, that president are just Ceremonial. During Obasanjo regime all the bad policy people especially Yoruba criticise Atiku but today they do everything humanly possible to exenorate Osibanjo in every bad policy this Administration took. Put Osibanjo as next president the same policy of Buhari will still go on nothing will change, No Vice president any where in the world who succeed his master has ever change the Policy, we also quick to forget that is a loyal member of Tinubu boys who uses pastor as a covering up, the same cabal will still control him .

Name one policy of Buhari?

Since you say Osinbajo would carry on with Buhari's policy, we will like to know this policy you talk about so much.

As much as the comparison isn't necessary, let's face facts. The fact that stands is that while Mr Pence sees the loyalty to constitution as superseding and ultimate, Prof Osinbanjo will rather be faithful to his boss than be loyal to the constitution of Nigeria. When push comes to shove, you will clearly see the difference in their actions.

Our VP was once an acting President so he should have significant impact, going by that logic all the listed "achievements" are not mind blowing.

But the real question is "If it came down to him to overturn the 2019 elections results which he and Mr Lifeless massively rigged, against themselves, will he do it??


your guess is as good as mine!

This is about test of Character, about putting the constitution and the people first, about dignity and respect, not playing to the gallery. And I tell you guys, if Osinbanjo had any of the above attributes, he should have resigned long ago

On what basis would there be a need to overturn the 2019 election?

Does Osinbajo look power-drunk to you?

He is a lawyer, and they don't deal with sentiments.

If Atiku had a solid case, I am sure Osinbajo would concede.

But Atiku failed to provide a solid evidence for manipulated results just as Trump has failed to provide evidences of tampered electoral results.

In fact, Atiku's server case was destroyed right on social media by laymen even before it was entertained in court.

It is the most laughable case I have ever heard. Very untidy, and poorly defended in writing.

Who told you buhari will accept defeat as a sitting president. You guys just talk off point. A man that encourages election rigging and nepotism to perpetuate his hold on power. Buhari will rather rig an election than loose as a sitting president so what is the difference.
RaptObserver:
Lolz we have a working democracy which we are even improving on. Buhari is more democratic than Trump because he stood for elections three times and lost. Trump can't even accept one defeat. Yes I know there are flaws, Buhari endured those flaws on three occasions. Then he won when he took advantage those flaws in 2015. Trump also took advantage of the flaws in their system to win four years ago and now the table has turned and he wants to burn down the building. Mike Pence has political ambitions and he used the Trump/Pence ticket to climb the ladder so he was careful not to burn that ladder. The circumstances surrounding the American system is not the same with ours. So no need to compare Pence with Osibanjo who in my opinion has been the reason Buhari's government has small acceptability.

You can't tell me he has not been more loyal to his boss than to the constitution.

The problem with many of you Nigerians is that the grass is always greener on the other side for you people.

Many people have accused Osinbajo of being too silent in this administration, but the fact is that he has been more vocal than Pence.

But because of our love for foreign things, we are ready to take a Pence over our own Osinbajo.

Give me one good reason why Pence ought to have had issues with his boss? Are there any national issues that bothered Americans so much that Trump still didn't let go yet Pence didn't say a word? Make Una dey use Una brain na.

Whilst in the case of Buhari, I can list 5 major issues that affected the country as a whole yet Osinbanjo never coughed or said a single thing.

Hundreds of reasons.

Trump's many policies and actions stem from ignorance.

His cuts on spendings on renewable energy stems from his own distrust of it, despite the need to address climate change. Pence said absolutely nothing.

Simple economics of spending allows you to make expansionary policies such as tax cuts, as long as they are properly backed. Trump's lack of foresight caused the US to suffer her worst unemployment rate since the late 1930s. Nothing came from Pence. He just rode on with his boss like a zombie.

Worst of all, is the way Trump has handled the Covid-19.

Give me the five major issues, please.

US Capitol Attack: Pence and Osinbajo incomparable, Twitter users pummels alarmist


The attack on the United States Capitol and the role of the Donald Trump's Deputy, Mike Pence, who doubles as the President of the senate has sparked some controversies on the social media.

Pence, who until the recent recount of ballot by the Congress was not as pronounced in the decision making of the Trump's administration, was said to be incomparable to Nigeria's Vice -President, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, SAN.

Pence, unlike Osinbajo, some Twitter users argued that he has been silent on important issues like the trade war between the United States of America and the Peoples Republic of China, the rise of the COVID - 19 pandemic which has dealt a blow on the nation's economy and also on the black lives matters protest.

Some Nigerians explained that Buhari's deputy did not only perform incredibly well as the acting President of Nigeria, he also sacked the then Director of State Services, Lawal Daura, for a security breach and at several times stood by the people and helped revived the economy.

See tweets below:

Tise Somide wrote “One man openly condemned SARS and secured Presidential authority to dissolve SARS.

One man directed the formation of judicial panels across the country to get justice for victims of police brutality.

One man has made sure FG programs get to the grassroot”.

Dunni Adeniyi said “For those saying VP Osinbajo hasn’t stood for democracy. For the record, he sacked the DSS boss when they invaded National Assembly. It’s the same Osinbajo that ensured states set up a judicial panel in order for victims of police brutality to get justice. Stop chasing clout!”.

Another twitter user explains that “Prof Yemi Osinbajo is the most active and emphatic Vice President Nigeria has ever had. If you like vex from now till tomorrow, your vex or opinion can't change the fact. Neither does the VP need your validation.”


On the contrary, Soulja noted that “Learn context, Akunnakuna.
Pence has bn following and rationalizing Donald Trump's madness all thro the 4yrs of their admin and only retrieved his senses after it's clear everythn has been lost.
Buhari has not done anything 4 Osinbajo to oppose him other than your crooked desires.”


While praising the strides of VP Osinbajo, Adewunmi Collins said “These ignorant folks that are exaggerating Mike pence' belated heroism while launching an attack on Osinbajo are the reason fools are proliferating.

VP Osinbajo is always the voice and activist in govt calling to order every act that is against the Nigerian Constitution”.

Bukola Saraki said “I thank VP Osinbajo for how he handed the situation we were confronted with when he was the Acting President. His decisive action helped in restoring confidence &sent a powerful message that the DSS can’t be recklessly deployed against institutions of our democracy”.

On the #endSARS protest, Ekitiketekan wrote “STOP LYING....

Yemi Osinbajo was the one that called IGP

He took IGP to Mr President

He engage Senate President and Speaker

He apologized

He ask 36 states to constitute Judicial Panel of Inquiry”.


Exalting the Nigeria's number 2 citizen, Kemisola Adekunle, said “His name is Professor Oluyemi Osinbajo,
He is committed and dedicated to his country and office,
He remains the best VP ever !!!”.

Our VP Osinbajo is much more better than USA Mike Pence in all aspects of leadership, this can be verified by the excellent leadership he demonstrated during the very few times he had opportunity to lead. In comparison Osinbajo 85% and Pence 52%.This is my humble opinion.

I prefer Osibanjo to Mike Pence BUT I like Donald Trump more than Bihari and there's nothing anybody can do about it.

You are still missing the point. Mike pence does not have any constitutional power to overturn the election, what he did by presiding the house vote count and adoption is mere formality.
Osinbajo resigning will leave the complete power at the federal in the president's hand, useless tinubu political gain since 1999 and play directly into the "its our birth right rule" region hands.

They're actually comparable.
Both men have shown unchecked loyalty to their bosses.
They have also done assignments given to them with brilliance.
Just as Osinbajo went against his boss when a safe opportunity was presented.
Osinbajo for example sacked his boss's kinsman and dialogued with ipob as acting president while pence also supported wearing of masks after Trump had the virus and of course this recent one.

What of the unconstitutional removal of CJN?
The truth is Buahri has violated the constitution several times and what was Osibande's position?

The 25th amendment cannot impeach is boss but instead render him "unfit" or "unable" to carry out his duty as a president thus giving power to the VP over a short period of time.

You're not smart
Clearly, you don't know the limit of the powers of certain political offices and how it varies from country to country thanks to their distinct constitution.

Mike Pence did nothing special yesterday other than carrying out mere formality with aid of the power ascribed to him in the US constitution.

No one could have overturned Biden's victory.
