The Presidency has commented on speculation of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo being sidelined from governance after the inauguration of an Economic Advisory Team (EAC) to replace the Economic Management Team (EMT) and being stripped of some of his powers over some Federal Government agencies under his supervisionΒ by President Buhari.
Speaking on behalf of the Presidency while appearing on Channels TVβs Politics TodayΒ on Wednesday September 18, Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi AdesinaΒ said all the President did this weekΒ was just to βtweak governance and get the best for Nigeriansβ.
He further added that speculation of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo being sidelined from governance is aimed at causing a rift between him and President Buhari.
βThe Vice President is the number two man in the country. the new economic advisory body can also relate with the Vice President as necessary.
βItβs just some Nigerians who want to drive a wedge between the President and the VP, that read meanings into everything and insinuate but thereβs no need for that,β he said.
