The Arewa Youth Consultative
Forum, AYCF, has charged Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to fight back because he
has been ridiculed in the Presidency.
Speaking with Dailypost, AYCF President General, Yerima Shettima warned that Osinbajo risked being
removed if he failed to fight back or resign as Vice President.
Shettima stated this in reaction
to the sack of some aides attached to the Vice President.
Insisting that the current
government has undermined Osinbajo, Shettima wondered why the Vice President
has remained silent in the face of his travail in the Presidency.
According to Shettima: “We have
discovered that certain people at the corridors of power are manipulating the
system for their selfish interest, like it or not somebody somewhere wants to
ensure that the Vice President was put off the system so that he can’t find his
way to the presidency in 2023.
“One thing about this government
is no matter how they pretend, something is wrong. The moment they said the
President and his Vice were in good terms I knew something was wrong because
there can’t be smoke without a fire. Instead of sacking aides of the Vice
President why not look at the National Assembly, if really they want to reduce
the cost of governance in Nigeria why not look for a way of placing so many
aides there doing nothing on allowances or reduce the number rather than look
at the office of the Vice President.
“Some of us know that the battle
line has been drawn. Osinbajo is serious being undermined, this is a clear
indication that he is a target and they would pull him down. I’m surprised that
he has not come out boldly to seek the sympathy of Nigerians and speak his
mind. He is sitting there quietly because he wants to prove to Nigerians that
he is a man of God. The issue of politics is not the matter of God, its about
issues, professionalism must have to come to play. I know he is a Professor of
law but he needs to come out and tell Nigerians what is going on, if he
continues to stay quiet he will just wake up one morning and discovered that he
has been removed.
“The office of the Vice President
has been ridiculed so for me its either he’s out to fight or he resigns because
if he doesn’t and can’t fight back then certainly they would remove him through
any means. Nobody thought it was possible to remove the Chief Justice of the
Federation but the did it easily, so how more the Vice President that is a
spare tyre to the president. The head of the judiciary was removed and they
frustrated him and nothing happened.”
