Festus Keyamo, Lagos-based lawyer, has joined those commenting on the recent cancellations of the trips of President Muhammadu Buhari.
In the last two weeks, Buhari has aborted three trips. Two were within the country – Lagos and Cross Rivers states – and the other is the ongoing 49th Extra-Ordinary Summit of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in Dakar, Senegal.
Below is Keyamo’s reaction:
“On a lighter note, pple complained that PMB travelled too much, so he decided to lock himself up in the Villa. Now pple want him to come out,” he wrote on Twitter.
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has represented the president on all the occasions, and Nigerians have also reacted to that.
While some have criticised Buhari for delegating Osinbajo at the last minute, others have argued that nothing stops the vice-president from standing in for his boss when the need arises.
Defending Buhari’s action, Femi Adesina, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, said Buhari had the right to ask Osinbajo to represent him.
“The presidency is one. The president has a right to delegate duties to his deputy, who is the vice-president, and that is what he has done,” he told reporters.

Keyamo you are a noise maker. Just want to be heard and noticed because it has been long people heard your ranting.
ReplyDeleteI know Fools like these Ade must have nonsense things to say
DeleteA fool is always a fool no matter how highly placed. Their utterances will be their judge in time to come. Im sure APC politicians have learnt a very old lesson ..."what you say will stick around longer than you imagined". Those who in pretence defend the poor leadership of this country are worse than those responsible for it. Time shall tell.Nigeria will survive the tough ride.
ReplyDeleteWhere did he Violet you. Critics should view things from four angles of the world before criticizing
ReplyDeleteThe future rewards those who press on. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I'm going to press on. See the link below for more info.
