Vice President Osinbajo Should Resign If He Is Not Allowed To Perform His Official Duties – Tunde Bakare.


The  Senior Pastor of the Citadel Global Community Church in Lagos, Pastor Tunde Bakare, says Prof Yemi Osinbajo should vacate office if he is not allowed to perform his duties as the Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.


Bakare, however, further said he did not believe the hearsay that Osinbajo was being prevented by a cabal in the presidency from performing his constitutional roles.


He said he would like to get a direct message from the Vice-President.

The cleric spoke on Tuesday night in an Instagram Live Chat with the publisher of the Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu, monitored by SaharaReporters.

“I do not know if that statement is true that he is not allowed to perform because the constitution is very clear on what the role of the Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is, especially as it relates to steering the economy of the nation,” Bakare said.

Bakare was the running mate to Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) in the 2011 presidential election for the Congress for Progressive Change, losing to former President Goodluck Jonathan and Namadi Sambo of the Peoples Democratic Party.

According to Bakare, he asked Buhari for specific details about his own role when they were contesting then.

However, in 2015, when Buhari ran again, he chose Osinbajo as his running mate and won under the aegis of All Progressives Congress, following the merger of some political parties in order to strongly challenge the ruling Peoples Democratic Party at the time.

“Before I accepted General Muhammadu Buhari’s offer, I said what would be my role because I am not prepared to be a spare tyre and he said to me that my role would be as prescribed by the constitution and as many other things as you can be given to do.

“I want to hear it one day from the Vice-President that he is not allowed to perform. I don’t like rumours and I don’t like gossip. If he is not allowed to perform, I would wonder what he is still doing there because he is not allowed to perform.

“If he is content in his office and he is given responsibilities and he is discharging those responsibilities to the best of his ability, I do not believe the story that he is not allowed to perform. If that is true, let him say so and not other people saying he is not allowed to perform.

“There is a constitutional role for the Vice-President, it is spelt out in black and white. If he is not allowed to do that, then, what is he doing there? Because if I am enrolled as a teacher and I am not allowed to teach in that school, I will look for another school,” he said.

In the past, Buhari had been known to delegate power to his assistant anytime he was travelling out of the country for unofficial functions.

President Buhari when he travelled to London on a working leave on August 3, 2018, and returned on the 18th, spending a total of 16 days, handed over to Vice President Osinbajo.

It was widely believed that Osinbajo might have angered his boss and his political and family caucus by sacking the Director-General of the Department of State Services, Lawal Daura, during the time he was in charge of the affairs of the nation when President Buhari was away.

Since Daura’s sacking, the President has not deemed it fit to hand over power to Osinbajo again.

Bitter truth

Simple truth!

If he's not allowed to work, then he should take a bow and walk away but as long he's still there; we must talk!

He gree resign?

edo3:
He gree resign?

He has been consumed by lust of power.

“I want to hear it one day from the Vice-President that he is not allowed to perform. I don’t like rumours and I don’t like gossip. If he is not allowed to perform, I would wonder what he is still doing there because he is not allowed to perform.

Bakare is right on this. If osibanjo is not being given a chance by the cabal, he should man up and speak out. Remaining numb proves you are inconsequential in the scheme of things, and history will remember you as a ' spare tyre'.

VP Osinbajo have been render redundant in this govt. How can a whole prof of law be deputizing in a govt engulfed in anarchy, impunity, lawlessness and abuse of the rule of law?

Just mention one VP that perfomed better than Osinbajo.

Please, Dont come here with Atiku.

Osagyefo98:
The professor and Pastor turned politician has given up every atom sanctity and sacredness a true Christian holds in high esteem....He has Chosen worldly pleasures and what it can offer over life in Christ.

Why will he resign when he is now controlled and consumed by the lust of Power, Prosperity, Prestige, Pomposity and popularity

Excuses upon Excuses why he was hindered from performing yet no single evidence of certain functions allotted to his office rather it was enmeshed in corruption and funds missing while his whole aides are ethnically one sided in a diverse country Nigeria...

The only indices worthy of Osinbajo is that he is an Irredeemable disaster.

May the likes of Osinbajo never happen to Nigeria again.

We have had enough of such incompetencies.

He wouldn't resign, he's a regular Nigerian politician... Incompetent and criminally monstrous

Very petty.

Has Osinbajo accounted for over 94bn Firs fund under him rather he used police to harass te press into Intimidation?

What about the 4bn transferred him through mobile banking app?

What about gross mis-management of funds both for npower and the ineffective trade moni which prompted the president to move all offices away from him to another ministry where there will be accountability.

Maybe, he might perform well there.

Bakare is just jealous.

Tunde Bakare is a talkative and I'm advising him to face his ministry

I know how much of a talkative Bakare is but this headline and article have been tweaked for sensationalism. He didn’t put it this way

jealous Bakare, jealous go kill you�

Tunde Bakare is interested in becoming the VP that's why he is saying rubbish

This is where your brain has lost it, did he become the VP because he's pastor or prof? Since USA inauguration, when last did you hear from Kamala Harris? You people are just ignorant. That is all

Let him go and contest as Councilor first. A failed lawyer turned Yahoo Pastor and unrecognized politician talking to an accomplished lawyer, a professor of Law, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, a former Attorney General of the only viable state and a celebrated VP. Tunde Bakare must be MAD

Not allowed to do his work how? Go and read the constitution please and stop spewing rubbish.

He's not allowed but he is the reason why some of your relatives who are private school teachers get SurvivalFund. A man that is supervising a N2.3trn plan not allow to do his work? Sense far from you abeg

Osagyefo98:

Oh really? Pray any of your relative get ordinary Councilorshiop position and let's see how much power will consume him or her.

Just speak without reasoning.

Are you not tired of repeating same phrase all the time?

Learn something new or add new phrase to the existing ones

Good to see the writer highlight the part that summarized Bakare's real message as quoted below:

Bakare, however, further said he did not believe the hearsay that Osinbajo was being prevented by a cabal in the presidency from performing his constitutional roles
