Yesterday there was uproar in the
polity after it was discovered that President Buhari's letter to the senate
regarding his medical trip to the UK, did not indicate that Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo would assume the office of an acting president. Rather the letter said
he would be coordinating the activities of government". Senator Mao
Ohuabunwa at the senate plenary yesterday frowned at this, stating that the
constitution only recognises an acting president and not someone who
coordinates the activities of government in the absence of a president. (Readhere)
Lending his voice to condemn this, former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode via his Facebook page said any attempt not to give Osinbajo power as an acting president will be resisted. According to him, those who are attempting to play politics with this are playing with fire. What he wrote below...
"The attempt by the corpsocrats to prevent the Vice President from being Acting President by referring to him in the letter to the Senate as a mere "co-ordinator" is insulting and dangerous. It is time for us to decide: do we have a nation of equals or not? If not let us break it and go our separate ways! When you tell us that the Vice President cannot be Acting President even though the President is critically sick and on indefinate medical leave in a foreign country you are playing with fire.
There are NO more slaves in Nigeria. To those that believe that we must stand strong for Osinbajo this is the time to do it. The attempt to deny him the right and role of Acting President by the corpsocrats is ominous and the implications are grave and far-reaching. They did it to MKO Abiola in 1993. They tried to do it to GEJ in 2010. They are doing it to Osinbajo in 2017. When will a southerner be treated as an equal by these hegemonists? When will this arrogance of power and modern-day apartheid stop?”

ReplyDeleteWelcome to the real world! Tinubu,Pastor Tunde Bakare and all those who supported this APC government in the first instance should be allowed to bear their cross. Lest I forget Prof Soyinka all the Oba's who insulted Goodluck Jonathan should be allowed to bear their badluck. JFK please stop troubling yourself with another man's fight. This is the time for all those hypocrites to voice out otherwise they should remain silent forever.
