Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari for the first time in recent years declared publicly that Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo will be in charge during his two-week medical vacation.

This online news platform understands that President Buhari handed over to VP Osinbajo just before he departed Abuja, Nigeria’s capital for London, the United Kingdom on Sunday, March 6, 2022.

The President told State House correspondents before departing for the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, that there would be no vacuum as a result of his absence, saying he has capable hands to run the government.

“Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo will be in charge while I’m away. Well, I cannot claim to be doing the work alone. The government is fully represented.

“The Vice-President is there; constitutionally when I’m away he is in charge and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and then the Chief of Staff. So I have no problem,’’ Persecondnews quotes Buhari as saying as he jetted out of the country

On the ability of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria’s ruling political party, to conduct a successful national convention, President Buhari expressed the optimism that it had the capacity to organize the convention as scheduled.

“Well, they should wait and see. How did we come as a party to take power from the ruling party (PDP) who had been there before us for so many years? So we have the capacity, everything will be alright,’’ he said in response to reporters’ questions.

Another vexed issue is the choice of APC National Chairman through consensus which has pitted President Buhari against the governors.
