President Muhammadu Buhari says Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo is now in charge of the country.

The president said this shortly before he departed Abuja for a routine medical check-up in London, the United Kingdom.

The president had initially planned to embark on the trip from Nairobi, Kenya after attending the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) at 50 in that country.

His spokesman, Femi Adesina, had on March 1, said from Kenya, the president would proceed to London for ”routine medical checks that will last for a maximum of two weeks.”

However, the president returned to Abuja on Friday around 1.p.m, fueling speculations.

But Malam Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, told Daily Trust that the trip had been moved to Sunday.

According to Adesina’s statement, Buhari is due to return to Abuja in two weeks.

Fielding questions from reporters before his departure at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, President Buhari said Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was in charge constitutionally when he was out of the country.

The President said his absence would not affect state function as he was aware of every development taking place in his absence.

Asked about how the country would function in his absence, he said: “Well, I cannot claim to be doing the work alone. The government is fully represented. The Vice President is there. Constitutionally, when I’m aware, he’s in charge. Then, we have the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and then the Chief of Staff, so, there’s no problem.”

On the anxiety over the March 26 convention of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), he doused tension and said the party had the capacity to organise the scheduled programme.

On what he would tell Nigerians who had expressed doubts regarding the ability of APC to conduct his national convention successfully, he said: “Well, they should wait and see. How did we come as a party to take power from the ruling party which had been there before us for so many years? So, we have the capacity. Everything will be alright.”

Please, if truly Osinbajo is now in charge, kindly stay till December. At least, rest till then thank you!!

In Osinbajo we trust, he has done it before and he's going to do it again.

Osinbajo will not do the "needful".

Ipob pigs have been clamoring for Osinbajo to do the "needful" since the day Buhari assumed office as the president.

But glory be to God, Osinbajo is a loyal vice and did not do any "needful", he will not do any "needful" and will never do any "needful".

All attempts to make him turn against the president have failed woefully. Today, he is one of the most respected politicians in Nigeria because he will never do that "needful".

Maybe that is the "needful" Peter Obi would have been doing to athifku but God is wonderful.

Both

Tinubu a very WICKED & SELFISH man.
He knew Buhari was a canca-worm & a religious bigot but he encouraged the entire Yoruba people to vote Buhari into power so that he can be president in 2023.
Now look at our once beloved country It's in a total mess & Tinubu has never condemned Buhari even when Fulani herdsmen are killing his own people.
TINUBU CAN NEVER BE PRESIDENT.

Jagaban go vex o

Hausa Fulani is in government, in power and in Charge.

Aside this ..

And what will he do differently? Like the last time yoruba people said he sack Lawal without Buhari consent

So what next will he be doing on he’s own without president consent?

You know yoruba can twist anything to suit their narratives

Let us see the letter transmitted to national assembly indicating that Osinbajo Is in charge and can take decisions over every actions.

President handing over to his deputy by mouth at the airport.

That's what people called standard practice.

Isn't that standard practice for him to handover the reigns of government istration to the VP whenever he travels, or am I missing something?
