Buhari's Absence Makes His Deputy Shine: Associated Press by ganisucks(f): 1:36pm On Feb 24, 2017 |
The Nigerian president's month-long medical leave overseas has empowered his deputy to attack the country's problems with an energy that has surprised observers and led some to suggest he should stay in charge for good. When he left for London on Jan. 19, President Muhammadu Buhari handed power to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, a 59-year-old lawyer and pastor. He has embarked on a whirl of domestic travel and meetings, taking on long-standing, seemingly intractable issues like the weakened naira currency and oil militants whose bombings have cost the country billions of dollars. That isn't silencing some critics who say Buhari's absence has caused a power vacuum, nor calming the concerns of citizens amid an official silence on the cause of the president's leave. On Tuesday, the 74-year-old Buhari sent a message thanking Nigerians for their prayers and saying "I need a longer time to rest."Suggestions that Buhari is too incapacitated to run one of Africa's largest economies and its No. 2 oil supplier have prompted a few calls for his resignation. Citizens' advocacy group Opinion Nigeria cited the country's many challenges in calling for "the immediate resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari ... followed swiftly with the immediate confirmation of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as a substantive president."But putting Buhari's deputy in charge for good could provoke antagonism between majority Christian southerners like Osinbajo and mainly Muslim northerners like Buhari. When former President Musa Yar'Adua was ill abroad for months before coming home to die in 2009, northerners blocked his southern Vice President Goodluck Jonathan from assuming power, creating a months-long political paralysis.http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/A/AF_NIGERIA_ABSENT_PRESIDENT?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2017-02-24-07-22-51

All this silly stewpid games being played by the opolo eye monster called tinuboot, will all come to naught at the end of the day. Osinbanjo will never become president. If they want the presidency so bad, then they should just open their smelly mouth and tell the country. |

There is no denying it. Nigeria will progress of we have leaders like Ag Pres Osinbajo. A highly intelligent and pious individual. Though Buhari is anti corruption personified, Osinbajo is the total package. |
