Sack Of Osinbajo’s Aides Causes Tension In Aso Rock by dre11(m): 7:53am On Nov 07, 2019
There is palpable tension in the seat of power, Aso Rock, over the alleged sack of 35 aides working with Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo.

New Telegraph gathered that accusing fingers are being pointed at the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari, as allegedly being behind the sack.

The sack of the affected aides comes as President Buhari is in London, the United Kingdom (UK), where he is on a private visit.

A competent presidency source confirmed yesterday that most of the aides had foreknowledge of the planned sack before the visit of Abba Kyari to London where he took the Deep Offshore Amendment Act 2019 for the president’s assent.

The source privy to the development said that the aides were surprised to understand that President Buhari had given approval for their disengagement, having been told that Vice President Osinbajo had intervened in the matter.

“This matter has been on, but the vice president was on it, with the hope that it would be addressed without causing friction.

“Everyone inside here is taken aback. Most of the aides were first transferred to ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) to work with the new ministers, but there were no vacancies. In fact, they turned back,” the source noted.

Speaking further, the source said that President Buhari may not have been aware of the development since the vice president is still waiting for the return of Mr. President to resolve the issue.

A source in the Presidency confirmed that President Buhari personally approved the appointment of all the 35 disengaged aides. The President had earlier given a directive on the deployment of some of the VP’s aides to ministries and stipulated those to be retained in the Villa.

“This was part of a reorganization of the presidency proposed to the President by Kyari who is seen to be engaging the VP in a power tussle,” a source said.

The source added that it was the Chief of Staff who mounted pressure on the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, to effect the disengagement of all aides redeployed to the ministries except those deployed to the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development.

Initially, the SGF was said to have resisted the instruction from Kyari to an extent that the duo reportedly engaged in a shouting march. Kyari told Mustapha that the disengagement was a directive from the President. This prompted the SGF to issue the disengagement letters to the affected aides of the vice president.

President Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Kyari, is known to be one of the president’s closest aides. He plans the president’s schedules and appointment with ministers, other cabinet members and visitors to Aso Rock.

Kyari’s influence became clear to many during a retreat organised by the presidency for the then ministers-designate.

While declaring the retreat open on November 5, 2015, Buhari said: “In addition, all communications and appointments from you (ministers) to the Presidency should be routed through the Office of the Chief of Staff as it is the normal (procedure) in this presidential system.”

Also, another source in the Presidency confirmed to New Telegraph that the Presidential Villa access tags of the affected aides have been retrieved from them by the security officials.

On resumption of work yesterday, they were approached at the gate by security personnel who consequently seized their tags upon confirming their identities among the names of the sacked aides apparently made available to them.

“Some of them came to work earlier yesterday, but had to leave without prompting, to avoid any untoward incident with security personnel who have already been briefed on what to do,” a source told New Telegraph .

Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Vice President, Laolu Akande, could not be reached for reaction on the development as his number remained busy at press time.

Aides of President Buhari also kept mum on the development. One of the top aides of the President told New Telegraph that the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, is responsible for the issuance of letters of appointment and where the need arises, sack letters as well.

The presidential aide directed our correspondent to “please meet him with your question.”

An online medium, Daily Nigerian, had yesterday reported that President Buhari approved the sack of at least 35 out of the over 80 aides in the vice president’s office.

As reported, the affected aides, who were issued appointment letters in August, included some senior special assistants, special assistants, personal assistants and technical assistants.

Some of the aides were said to have left their offices yesterday and returned home to avoid being embarrassed.

I blame Osinbajo for accepting to be VP in the first place. Tinubu's hand sef don fall. Useless man who only thinks of his pocket. His relevance is vanishing already amongst us. Nobody pitches his tent with fulanis has ever had it smooth because they believe they own Nigeria. I pray God's wish prevails in this nation...these guys have caused us more than enough setbacks.

We are world's HQ of poverty today, no thanks to the fulanis who neglected education and were busy rearing children like cows then abandoning them afterwards to start begging.

We are one of the nations with the lowest ranking on security, no thanks to fulanis who abandoned western education and were busy promoting islamic education even when the sheik of saudi Arabia, the world HQ of Islam schooled in the west. The current one is a graduate of a famous university in the USA. Fulani kept promoting only islamic education when other regions were counterbalancing both western and Islamic education and their regions have been better for it . Those neglected fulani kids of those days are now the boko haram terrorists of today.

If actually It's true that Mr. President did the sacking of VP's staff himself without the acquiescence of the VP, It's a violation of the Authority & Responsibility of the VP. It's rude, silly and dictatorial.

Don't be deceived. Read today's edition of the major newspapers and you'd find the news caption widely printed on their front pages. I guess you're one of those thinking everything is right with the VP. He's my brother and I dont like the way he's being treated from day one, from elrufai intimidation to that of aba kyari and the shutting of aso vila chapel's door against him on sundays ,whilst leaving the mosque doors widely open on fridays. This is very wrong and we cannot coexist in a situation like this . Truth be told. No nation succeeds where ethnicity and religion take precedence.

Very good move by President Buhari. How can one man have 80 aides? 80 How can a VP have 80 aides, is he the ruler of the universe grin. Even President Buhari should not have 80 aides. So Buhari allowed his VP to have 80 aides, whose salaries are being paid from national coffers, imagine the level of wastefulness. By the time Buhari is done in 2023, I hope the Nigerian economy won't be dragging space with Zimbabwe. Put massive corruption aside, GEJ economy is 1000 times better than Buhari economy. Fuel was 97 per liter and GEJ was paying subsidies, Buhari called it a scam. Now buhari has made fuel 145 and he is still paying more subsidies than GEJ did. Later he will call himself Mr anti-corruption, mtshewwwww! Who is the real scam now?

cool


mumu talk


Newspaper capitalising on foolishness of some dunce readers who love to hear bad news, the news is always from a nameless source privvy to asorock facts..


Analysis of what happened

*Osinbajo Initiated Social Investment Program SIP when Buhari was in London and he was an Acting President
*Since SIP was a tasking job and has no Ministry or Agency with full office staff and workforce, Osinbajo apointed 130 Presidential Aides to run SIP with him (Handling thousands of NPOWER youths, and thousands of Traders, and thousands of food vendors cooking for millions of kids nationwide)

*80 of this aides are not on Government Payroll but funded from various donor agencies
*In 2019, President Buhari made a speech thanking and appreciating Prof Osinbajo in creating the succesfull SIP even when he Buhari was skeptical about its succes and when oppositions where calling it vote buying
*Buhari decided to make the SIP an agency under the new Ministry of Humanitarian Affiars with full staffs and nationwide workforce
*After relocating SIP, about 35 Aides became redundant in AsoRock and draw salaries monthly hence thier sack.. with atleast 300% annual salary as serverance package among other pecks
