Co-convener of the Bring Back Our
Girls (BBOG) group, Aisha Yesufu, has advised spokesman of Acting President
Yemi Osinbajo not to be frightened by aides of President Muhammadu Buhari.
She charged him to “own it” and
not be “intimidated”.
Yesufu tweeted on Wednesday:
“Dear @akandeoj You are the Spokesperson of the Presidency as @ProfOsinbajo is
Acting President. Own it! Don’t be intimidated! Don’t thank me!”
Yesufu in an earlier tweet
criticised the attitude of Buhari’s media aides on Tuesday which, according to
her, “caused confusion” among the presidential media team.
“What is going on? Nigeria needs
reforms & hands on leadership not motion only”, she wrote.
Nigerians were yesterday confused
due contradicting reports on whether Osinbajo will on Wednesday swear in the
two new ministers confirmed by the Senate in April.
The Presidency had dismissed
reports that Osinbajo will supervise the oath-taking by two appointees from
Kogi and Gombe states – Stephen Ocheni and Suleiman Hassan.
Garba Shehu, Senior Special
Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, wrote on his Twitter handle:
“The story that Femi Adesina,
Laolu Akande and I provided confirmation that two new ministers are to be sworn
in tomorrow is false
“If they have a record of who
said that, let them publish it.
“As spokespersons, we report that
which has been given to us. As it is at the moment, we have received no such
information.”
But hours later, about 10pm
Tuesday night, Laolu Akande, confirmed the swearing in will be done at the
start of the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, at the
presidential villa.
The confirmation is seen as a
manifestation of widely reported division in the seat of power.
Meanwhile, the Ocheni and
Hassan were sworn in on Wednesday.
Ocheni replaced late Minister of
State for Labour, James Ocholi; while Hassan replaced Amina Mohammed who
resigned as Minister of Environment to become the United Nations Deputy
Secretary-General.
