A security expert has explained why Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has so far not been allowed to attend any of the national security meetings President Buhari has had with Service Chiefs since he assumed power. On June 2nd and yesterday June 10th, President Buhari met with the Service Chiefs without Osinbajo and this has led to some media houses reporting that the Vice President was "locked out" from the Defence House, venue of the meetings. A security expert explains why the pastor and lawyer can't be allowed into such meetings for now. The security expert explaned that Vice President Osinbajo is not a trained military officer and so it will take the military some time before sensitive intelligence can be shared in his presence. He also made reference to the Vice President's affiliation to Tinubu.
"I am sure he would have been invited if he had security background. Being a Professor of Law is fine, but in terms of intelligence and access to security information, you are nowhere near the rank of Colonel or equivalent in the Nigeria Military. Look, I have watched some footages that if the VP gets to see, he would lose appetite for days. Now, we have someone who has been in luxury virtually all his life, attaining the position of VP and some people are clamouring for his presence in highly sensitive talks. The truth is that the military hierarchy would not even feel comfortable saying some things in his presence. I can tell you that they respect Prof. Osinbajo as VP but they cannot trust him with information yet.
You cannot compare him to Buhari who served in many military roles, chased away a militia that was threatening Nigeria security, overthrew a military government, became Head of State, fought corruption and went ahead to instill discipline among a stubborn citizenry. The VP would have to go through what is called ‘Stimulation’. This is a process where he is lectured on terms, dealings, operations etc. of the military. His inner strength, strong heart and ability to keep things to himself will first be put to test before he gets access to some classified materials and information. We must understand the fact that Osinbajo was a candidate promoted by Bola Tinubu (ex-Lagos Governor), he was not handpicked by Buhari. If the President had picked a vice, it is likely that such individual may get the access Osinbajo isn’t getting now. Everyone knows the VP has been loyal to Tinubu for decades and he cannot swear that he would not divulge details of these security meetings to his political godfather. So he has to earn it. Tinubu may have used his influence to put him in this position but he must draw a line between blind loyalty and national duty.”

the expert is right to some extent but the fact remains that Buhari is trying to show Tinubu and some westerners that the post of VP is good useless except the president want it to be useful.

why were some yoruba jumping because they gave them VP when you guys have held the presidential position through OBJ once.

lets start a hastag to compel PMB to invite VYO for security meetings.

Op! See ya sources! Linda ikeji? A security expert? If I slap U ehn, U go retire from "junk journalism"! Go in peace!

What do you mean the vp cannot be trusted with information yet? I think that's a statement out of hypocrisy, a big insult to his position. South west are about to be left out of government totally and that stupid TINUBU will still stay there watching.

I guess President Jonathan is a military expert with security background for him to be given security briefings? OR was GEJ also locked out of security meetings?

This so called expert that wrote this piece is pathetic. This is not true.

PYO was engaged with other matters at the periods of the security meetings.
He will attend the next one just to silence some archaic brains.
