ANY APPOINTEE OF BUHARI WHO SHUNS OSINBAJO DOES SO AT HIS OWN RISK- PRESIDENT'S SPOKESPERSON

- Garba Shehu said President Buharu has trust in Yemi Osinbajo and does not give orders to ministers from London

- Shehu, one of Buhari's spokespersons, said the president turned a government official back from London for undermining Osinbajo

- He described President Buhari as very law abiding

Garba Shehu, the senior special assistant to Muhammadu Buhari on media and publicity, has revealed how his boss recently shunned a top official of the government for undermining the authority of Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.

Shehu said this on Channels Television during a programme on Tuesday, August 15, just days after returning from London where he visited Buhari with his colleagues.

Punch, which monitored the programme, reported that the spokesperson did not mention the name of the top official that was turned back by Buhari, but used the illustration to show that no minister was currently undermining the authority of Osinbajo and to emphasise that Osinbajo is in control.

According to Shehu, the government official travelled to London with some documents but he was turned back by the president.

“It is not true that ministers are going to the United Kingdom and are reporting to the President.

“I am aware that a senior official had gone to President Buhari in the UK with some documents to treat and the president said: ‘no, I won’t. The man responsible for the country is in Abuja, go back to him’.”

Concerning beliefs that the ministers would only be loyal to the president since he appointed them, Shehu said: “Anybody who says their loyalty will remain with the president who appointed them does not understand the country’s constitution.

“Once the president has transferred power, if you are the Inspector-General of Police and the acting president says: ‘go and do ABC,’ you are fined if you don’t do it. So, nobody will joke with his job.

“That is to show you that this is a law and order president. If it is a president that wants power for his own sake, he could probably have been giving directives from there.

“But he said: ‘no, I can’t give directives. I have handed over to the acting president’,” he said.

24repoters.com  recently reported that President Muhammadu Buhari reportedly ordered some aides and minister seeking his approval on some files to meet with acting president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.

The president who is on medical treatment in London duly handed over power to Osinbajo before he proceeded and has since maintained the standard protocol.
