Osinbajo lands in trouble for meeting with service chiefs: Aisha Buhari and El-Rufai excoriates him and restrains him from exercising such powers again

Nigeria's acting president, Prof Yemi Osinbajo may have landed in troubled waters for meeting with Nigerian service chiefs and South-South governors. The meeting is reportedly causing volcanic eruption at the presidency with governor of Kaduna State, El Rufai and the wife of 'General' Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha Buhari, who has no constitutional powers confronting the acting president for exercising such powers.

For meeting with Vaxity reliably gathered that the recent meeting the Acting President of Nigeria, Prof Yemi Osinbajo held with Service Chiefs and South-South governors is causing ripples in the presidency, especially in the president’s kitchen cabinet.

Vaxity was reliable informed by an Aso Rock source that, visibly angry El-Rufai and Aisha Buhari confronted the acting president to inquire on whose authority he relied on to exercise such sensitive power. The acting president was shocked that some highly placed people misunderstood his intention for summoning the security meeting.

Though most of the ministers are of the opinion that the acting president only acted within the powers given to him as the acting president, besides he acted for the interest of the country and not to undermine the president’s office. But few ministers who thought otherwise are ministers for interior, defence and transportation, Abdulrahman Dambazau, Mansur Muhammad Dan-Ali, and Rotimi Amaechi, respectively. 

The aforementioned ministers argued that the acting president should have stayed away from such sensitive move since the president won’t be away for too long.

Vaxity also gathered that the Chief of Army Staff, General Tukur Buratai, and the National Security Adviser, Rtd Major-General Babagana Monguno vowed never to attend any security meeting summoned by the acting president again.
