The first two on top were previous letters and the third one
below is the latest one that got people talking.
As the choice of words in President Buhari's recent letter to the National
Assembly, informing them of his medical leave to the UK continues to generate
controversy, some Nigerians have dug out his past letters to the NASS members
where he stated that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo would perform the functions
of his office.
"While I am away, the Vice President will perform the
functions of my office" President Buhari stated in his letter to the
senate on January 18th. Even when he asked for an extension, President
Buhari stated clearly that Osinbajo will continue to act on his behalf.
In his recent letter to the senate which was read
yesterday, President Buhari said Osinbajo would "coordinate the activities
of government", causing an uproar.

ReplyDeleteWe play too much politics in Nigeria, and our press men too like to always give us something to talk about.
You are right. There is nothing in the President's letter which detracts from the Vice President's right to act up.
