Cabals In Charge Of Nigeria, Osinbajo ‘Mere Figurehead’ – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party, has said that cabals in President Muhammadu Buhari’s government are ruling the affairs of Nigeria, adding that Acting President Yemi Osinbajo is “a mere figurehead”.

The opposition party in a statement by its Spokesperson, Dayo Adeyeye claimed that the country is not moving forward because Osinbajo is “not in charge of anything”.

The party queried the Acting President inability to assign portfolios to the two ministers, Prof. Stephen Ocheni from Kogi State and Mr. Suleiman Hassan from Gombe State, that were sworn in over two weeks ago.

According to Adeyeye, it was apparent that the All Progressives Congress was not ready to rule as that it won the 2015 presidential election in error.

He, therefore, asked Nigerians to be patient, adding that 2019 would soon come when new elections would be held.

He said, “The Acting President is not in charge of the country. He is not in charge of anything. This is why nothing is moving forward.

“How do you explain a situation where two of the ministers who were sworn in after much pressure from the people and the National Assembly have not been assigned portfolios?

“He is not in charge. He is a mere figurehead and cannot do anything. The cabals are still in charge. That is why nothing is moving forward in this country.

“The two ministers are just idle. They have no offices, nowhere to resume to and nothing to do. What is the essence of their being sworn in then? They are ministers without portfolios.

“It is a constitutional breach on the side of the government because each state ought to have a minister each. Now, these two states had been without ministers for long and after you reluctantly appointed them, you refused to give them offices.”
