Same old lame tales since Buhari became president in 2015.PYO and the jagaban are one and same in politics and we don't give a fvck whichever of them takes over from Buhari.

You should be more worried about the water shortage in Enugu and the over 900% pension for Enugu ex govs and 12m for their wives.

Recall that the presidency began the implementation of the sack of some aides of the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday .It was learnt that even when Osinbajo was hoping that the alleged sack of 35 of the aides would be reversed by the president, some of the affected persons on Wednesday had their presidential villa access tags retrieved from them as they reported for work.

Reports have been rife that since their re-election, Osinbajo has fallen out of favour with some elements close to President Buhari who are undermining his authority, a situation which has been blamed for the dissolution and replacement of the Economic Management Team hitherto headed by the vice president
