Osinbajo Now In charge, Says Buhari As He Departs To London

Osinbajo is now in charge, says Buhari as he departs to London.

Glamtush reports that Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has said that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is in charge of the country.

He said this while departing Abuja for a medical check-up in London on Sunday.

It could not be confirmed if Buhari transmitted a letter to the National Assembly handing over power to Osinbajo pending his return to the country.

When asked if his absence won’t affect state functions, he said, “Well, I cannot claim to be doing the work alone. The government is fully represented. The Vice President is there.

“Constitutionally, when I’m away, he’s in charge. Then, we have the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and then the Chief of Staff, so, there’s no problem.”
