Team Work Is How Buhari Presidency Works, Says VP Osinbajo

The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has attributed the success of president Mohammadu Buhari’s administration to effective team work.

The vice president made this known yesterday morning when while feeding questions from state house correspondents shortly after giving account of his stewardship as acting president to the President.

Asking if the president is fully ready for work? The cool and Calm Vice President said the president is doing well, he is in his office and we just had a meeting, a very long meeting. 

He further disclosed that his meeting with the President was to update him on his stewardship while he was away on vacation and get further direction from him.

“We are basically trying to bring the President to speed on some of what has been done while he was away and he has given a few directives on what we should be doing in so many different areas; the Northeast, the budget, the economy, quite a range of issues. We just had a meeting for over an hour and his readiness for work isn’t in doubt at all.”, he said.

Prof. Osinbajo equally confirms that he is back to his position as Vice President since the president is back to work.

“Are you now back to your position as Vice President?”

“ I’m back to my regular position as Vice President.” He replied

On account of his stewardship as acting president, the Vice President thinks that his boss was satisfied with his performance as most of his activities were done with clear directive from the President.

 “ I think the President was reasonably satisfied with the way I acted. I think so. I think one thing that we must recognize is the way this administration works; it has always been that of team work.”

“There is very little that is done without the President’s clearance and endorsement, so generally speaking, even with some responsibilities that are mine constitutionally, we always have full discussions and agreements on them, and in some cases there is delegation. But by and large, I practically discussed practically everything fully with him while he was away and I had his endorsements before we were able to go on and do what we did.”, he concludes.
