The Presidency has dismissed
claims that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo had been sidelined following President
Muhammadu Buhari’s inauguration of an Economic Advisory Team (EAC) to replace
the Economic Management Team (EMT).
While the EMT was headed by
Osinbajo, the newly constituted EAC will report directly to President Buhari.
Speaking as a guest on Channels
TV’s Politics Today, on Wednesday, Special Adviser to the President on Media
and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said all that the president had done particularly
this week was just to “tweak governance and get the best for Nigerians”.
He also maintained that the
presidency remains one and that there’s been too much suspicion and different
kinds of inferences which he believes are only aimed at driving a wedge between
both the President and the Vice President.
“The Vice President is the number
two man in the country. The new economic advisory body can also relate with the
Vice President as necessary.
“It’s just some Nigerians who
want to drive a wedge between the President and the VP, that read meanings into
everything and insinuate but there’s no need for that,” he said.
