NIGERIANS have been warned not to cause any problems besides the ones already ravaging the country between Acting President Osinbajo and his boss, President Muhammadu Buhari who is said to be away on vacation in the United Kingdom.
This warning was given by Abbas Datti in a piece published by Daily Trust newspapers.
He said the achievements and gains made and recorded by Osinbajo though commendable sould not be enough reason to draw comparisons of any sort adding that Osinbajo is only discharging his responsibility in his capacity as the Acting President.
According to him,''the giant stride made by Professor Yemi Osinbajo in this short period of time is commendable, this should not be a motive to invite another problem for ourselves beside the ones we have in hand. As we await President Muhammadu Buhari’s return, what Osinbajo needs is cooperation of every Nigerian to fulfill the pledges they made, not to wall off the closely intertwined relationship between him and Buhari.''
He contended that Osinbajo is not on a mission to expose Buhari's weaknesses and chided Ben Bruce for that notion and therefore would be wrong to draw comparisons.
His words, ''What Osinbajo is doing, is discharging his responsibility as acting president. I don’t think he is on a mission to use Buhari’s absence to outdo the performance of Buhari. Or to expose Buhari’s weaknesses to Nigerians. Only the destructive actions of Ben Bruce and his ilk will eventually give birth to that notion. Drawing a comparison between the status of our economy under the presence of Buhari and in his absence could eventually cause friction between Osinbajo and his boss. It will resuscitate the fears of handing over the affairs of the state to the deputy in the absence of a boss. Moreover, this act would justify the ignoring of section 145 of the constitution which obliged President to hand over the affairs of the state to his deputy before proceeding on vacation.''
Lauding Osinbajo further, he said there is no denying the fact that he has made giant strides and therefore patted him on the back
''Osinbajo made great strides in these few days. And he deserved to be slammed with kudos for managing this country in the absence of his boss. The way he is managing the country, is as if his boss is not on vacation. But in hailing Osinbajo, extreme care must be taken not to exult it to the level of creating the notion of portraying Osinbajo as better than Buhari. Or portraying Osinbajo’s policies as in contrariety to that of Buhari. Osinbajo as de-jure president is not creating policies that are contrary to Buhari’s policies. But rather, he is implementing those policies as the Chairman of the National Economic Management Team. He is acting on behalf of Buhari, and Buhari is the President of Nigeria. So whatever has been achieved by Osinbajo in Buhari’s absence will be listed in the scorecard of Buhari and Osinbajo.''
