The Presidency on Monday faulted the ongoing comparison between President Muhammadu Buhari and Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.
Since Osinbajo became Acting President on the 19th of last month and
the subsequent improvement of the naira against the dollar, and the new
peace in the Niger Delta region among other achievements, many reports
have claimed that Osinbajo was doing better as Acting President than
Buhari.
But speaking with State House correspondents, the Special Adviser to
the President on Political Matters, Femi Ojudu, said that it is one
government and that what Nigerians are seeing now are results of the
policies introduced by the government.
Noting that Osinbajo still consults with President Buhari even while
on vacation, he said that they have a joint ticket and all achievement
should go to the government.
He said that enemies are at work plotting to cause division in the
Presidency with the stories giving Osinbajo credit for the recent
achievements, rather than the Federal Government.
Stressing that the Acting President has been consulting the President
in London, he said: “Almost on a daily basis, yes. Well, there are
things he still needs to consult the President, I mean it’s not a
regular thing but major decisions he still has to consult Mr. President.
The president is still the president.”
He insisted that Buhari is still in charge even on medical vacation.
