The yEasterners are a bunch of pathetic loooonatics, I swear.

Making an issue of absolutely no issue!!

Nbote:


Nooo, "The Presidency" have always been in charge so dey'll sign it.. I mean d real "Presidency", d ones dat are playing poker with PMB's health and office

twilliamx:
English wahala. is the president no the coordinator of the government. abi until he write act. nawa. People trying to create a storm in a tea cup

Dalek:


look the oponu calling someone olodo, what is the meaning of Coordinator and in dat context is buhari the Coordinator of the government or not??

kenchop:


once again make I school you. buhari does not coordinate the government, he presides over the government,or heads the government or leads the government. He presides over his coordinators, who are his cabinet /ministers. you will do urself a lot of good by stop hating people from other tribes and educating urself better...

Balkan:
he cannot be addressed again as the acting president.

aribisala0:
Somebody's signature has to go on the budget. Whose will it be?

donborg:
he is now part of the presidency as the coordinator of the presidency

argon500:
Political propaganda.

dragonking2:
If there was no difference why did buhari change it to coordinate? Why didn't he continue with the word "act on my behalf "?

The word acting president does not matter.

D implication,call it a conspiracy theory or whatever,even if it wasn't Buhari's intention,is that any member of the cabal,ministers or appointees directly answerable to d president,can wake up one day and claim he/she is taking so and so document to the president in London or going to seek directive over sth with d president,'because Osinbajo was not explicitly made d acting president.'So they don't want to run foul of d constitution since there is still a living president,that can "rule from anywhere" '.
It's a mischievous coinage,carefully drafted by whoever,but giving those who want to exploit d situation and keep Osinbajo in check,d leeway to exploit it for their predetermined selfish aims and objectives.
All d previous occasions,Buhari has explicitly transmitted that Osinbajo wud act on his behalf,why d sudden change of d phrase,if not for mischievous purposes?
What will be will be,if Osinbajo wud become president,no mischievous coining or semantics wud stop it!

SillyMods:
What's the difference between"act on my behalf" and "will coordinate govt activities in my absence"?

What if he didn't make any reference to the VP but just transmit a letter saying he's going away for medical follow up? Would that mean the VP is not the person to assume his duties?

Thy hypocrisy of wailing LiePods stinks to high heavens. The same people who didn't see anything wrong in YarAdua not even sending a letter to the NASS while he was away during his sickness (which was a breach of the constitution) are same people wailing over petty issue.

What a set of confused, perpetually bitter, hate-filled low lifes!

I don't know why some Yoruba people here are trying to make this a tribal or ethnic issue. This is a serious matter. As a concerned Nigerian I sincerely want VP Osinbajo to have full control. I want him to be in charge.

If you read those 2 letters and don't see the difference, then you are too daft to decode a hidden message. In the first letter, the President proceeded on a vacation. He was on leave, which got extended on medical grounds. In such a situation the VP must act on his behalf. That is clear in the constitution.

On this second trip, he is not on vacation. He went for medical check up. There is no where in the letter in which he states that he will not be able, nor is incapacitated to discharge his functions. In that case, he is not obliged to hand over to anybody. As long as "The Presidency" says he is capable of discharging his functions, he can govern us from London. Nothing the VP or anybody can do about that.
That is my problem. This issue is beyond mere wailing.

Nbote:


Nooo, he's jus a "mere coordinator" of meetings while "The Presidency" takes all d key decisions
