Festus Keyamo, the Minister of State for Labour and
Employment, has named those attempting to push the Vice President, Yemi
Osinbajo into rebeling against President Muhammadu Buhari.
Keyamo said some anarchists who wants the current government
to crumble are attempting to push Osinbajo into rebellion.
He, however, described Osinbajo as a dutiful Vice President
who has refused to do their biddings.
In a series of tweets, Keyamo wrote: “The intention of those
castigating the VP as being ‘docile’ is to egg him on to rebel against his
boss.
“They know he’s dutifully performing his constitutional
roles, but these are anarchists who would wish this govt crumbles. The dutiful
VP has failed to fuel their warped fancies.
“Democracy is NOT the govt of the educated, by the educated
and for the educated. No one will come and worship your certificate and concede
power to you.
“It’s indeed a measure of education to respect and
accommodate all shades of people and opinions and then access power through
such humility.”
Buhari was criticized for refusing to handover power to
Osinbajo before traveling to London for his routine medical checkup.
Dino Melaye, former Kogi West Senator had called on Buhari
to transmit power to his Vice.
Olusegun Bamgbose, a chieftain of the New Nigerian Peoples
Party, NNPP, on his part said it was now very obvious that Osinbajo is no
longer wanted at the Presidency.
However, the Presidency responded that Buhari would govern
Nigeria from his current location.
Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu said it was unnecessary for
the president to transmit power to Osinbajo.
