Buhari Has Turned Osinbajo Into A Clerk – Kokori

Leading chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Frank Kokori has blasted President Muhammadu Buhari for turning Vice President Yemi Osinbajo into an admin clerk in his government and failing in the promises made to Nigerians.

Noting the failures of the Buhari government, Kokori in an interview said the president had made himself inaccessible to advice and limited himself to a few persons who carried out actions in the name of the president.

Noting how Osinbajo had been cut off from the Buhari government, he said:

“One thing I noticed about Buhari again is that he doesn’t carry the Vice-President along. The Vice-President is an important position in any country but here in Nigeria, the Chief of Staff and some aides are more powerful than the Vice-President. This is not acceptable in any ideal democracy,” he said of how Osinabjo was rated in the Buhari government” Kokori chairman of the Michael Imodu Institute of Labour Studies said in an interview with Saturday Sun.

“The Vice-President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is like a clerk to Buhari. But this is not supposed to be so. The Vice-President’s position is a powerful one. He is the alternative president. The fact that the man is gentle doesn’t mean that they should cheat him.

“Buhari should be consulting more with the Vice-President, and take decisions jointly with him, and not all the time with the cabal headed by the Chief of Staff. The Chief of Staff is just a political appointee while the Vice-President is not only democratically elected but he is also the number two citizen in the country.

“It is sad that Osinbajo has been turned into more or less an administrative clerk in Aso Rock. The Chief of Staff is supposed to take orders from the Vice-President but unfortunately, they’ve relegated the Vice-President to Mr. Nobody. Osinbajo know that he is being cheated badly but he is a gentleman, he doesn’t want to rock the boat,” he said in reaction to the relationship between the president and his deputy.

While noting that the APC has failed in its promises to the country, Kokori, however, ruled out the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP as an alternative.

Noting how Buhari and the APC failed, he said:

“The most inaccessible leader we’ve got is Buhari, and that is one of the major problems we have in this country. Most people that want to reach Buhari reach him through the cabal, and members of this cabal are trading with Buhari for pecuniary reasons.

“We need an accessible leader after Buhari must have completed his tenure. Buhari can’t change more than what he is at the moment. Although Buhari is not corrupt, everybody around him is corrupt, and in that case they have dented his image.”
