Ministers are servants of the government and not servants of the president. Osinbajo power start and end with officers and servants of the government and not personal servants of the President. The COS is a personal aide of the President, he is not inherited by the acting president. PYO for now operates with his COS, also known as Deputy COS.

MrPolitics:
ABBA kyari is not an FG staff or appointee. Unlike the FEC, his appointment didn't need approval from the senate bkos he's a personal staff of the executive president and as long as the executive president is still in office, it doesn't matter who the acting president is. He can't be sacked by anybody else.
Osinbajo can sack a minister but he can't sack the chief of staff to the executive president untill he (osinbajo) becomes executive president. But he can choose not to work with him.

henchamb:
In addition, sacking the chief of staff to the president

obamabinladen:
For the fact that he's acting does not empower him to take vital decisions without consulting he that transmits power to him.

obamabinladen:
It is you that doesn't know anything. If you understand the position of Kyari as the head of kitchen staff to the president, only the person he's working for (pmb) can sack him. He's not a minister but someone pmb himself picked to work direct with him. Is just like saying Osibanjo should sack Buhari's driver or photographer.

obamabinladen:
He can't fire him b'cos Kyari is the chief of staff to buhari not Osibanjo. Only buhari can fire him.

yourexcellency:
Given the information that Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari inserted the word 'coordinator' in President Buhari’s handing over letter, can Osinbajo fire him?

Some have argued that Kyari as Chief of Staff is more powerful than the Acting President. How true?

You guys don't understand the point Mao Ohuabunwa was trying to make and I am with him on this. The letter is ambiguous and open to various interpretation.

Yes, we all know what the constitution says and in view of that, Osinbajo is the acting president. But look at it from this perspective: He may give an order or sign a law or budget and someone somewhere will go to court challenging him on the signed law insisting that he was not the acting president and lacked powers to sign such all in a bid to buy time. Please note that the person challenging this knows the outcome already but would want to buy time. He will seek interpretation from the lower courts, then appeal the judgement, and later head to the supreme courts with various court injunctions inbetween and before you say jack, 2 years has elapsed and the culprit is still free because while he is at the courts, all actions will be pending awaiting the court verdict.

This is the lacuna Mao is trying to bring to light. After Osinbajo signs the budget, someone somewhere will spend above the budget next year or next 2 years and when EFCC wades in, he will go to court to say buy time, hinging his case on this same thing.

Do not forget that Ngozi Okonnjo Iweala was coordinating Minister under GEJ and we know theirs no powers attached to such portfolio.

The letter could have been innocently scripted, otherwise, it could have been crafted by some mischievous powers surrounding the presidency. Mao is not ignorant of what section 145 says so he knows exactly what he is saying; we call him "Ancient Mao" in Abia North and we have a saying that what an elder sees while sitting down, the youths will not see even if they climb the iroko.
