yemi osinbajo

A lot of Nigerians have not been happy with the current APC government in charge of the country. The Buhari led government has put the country into high inflation that kept increasing weekly, but ever since the President left for London due to health issues, VP Yemi Osinbajo has taken over power in Nigeria.

                 

These are few things Vice-president Osinbajo did since Buhari left for the UK.

Airport Visit

The Muritala Muhammad International airport is one of the Nigeria busiest airport, but it is no news that the airport is in the worst state of decadence. The toilet of Muritala Muhammad is like the Toilet of a cheap restaurant, and also there is no good business lounge for business or VIP guest travelling away or through the airport.

So, recently, the VP paid a surprise visit to monitor the state of the airport. Less than 24 hours after he left the airport, the Lagos airport sack 10 directors of the Nigeria Civil aviation.

Three new directors and manager were also appointed to the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).

Approval Of Road Projects

The Vice-president on February 8 chaired the meeting of the Federal Executive Council, and on that day approved a 21 Billion Naira for the construction of the Ilorin-Omu Aran-Kabba Road, Section I. 

He also approved another N126 billion road projects on February 15 for the road projects across Adamawa, Kwara, Gombe, Enugu, Kano, Bauchi and Kaduna state.

Strong Naira Currency

Nigerians can't keep exclaiming about the sharpen rise of the dollar since the Buhari administration assumed power. The Jonathan Goodluck administration had left the Naira against the dollar at 180-250 Naira, but Buhari administration see a sharpen rise to 500-600 Naira to 1 dollar.

Since Osinbajo took the power of the president, the Naira is now 430 Naira against 1 dollar, something that has also caused high inflation in the country.

Osinbajo has gained praises from both opposition government and his party members. 

Ben Bruce, representing Bayelsa East in the National Assembly, went on Twitter and tweeted;

Whatever the acting President is doing to increase the value of the Naira is working. We appeal to him to teach his boss this magic he has!

The emergence of Senate President, Bukola Saraki came as a surprise to all All progressive Congress member, and that includes the Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari. The party leaders had chosen a candidate, Femi Gbajabiamila to represent the party at the senate president level, but this was a plan of the party, Bukola Saraki had his own plan, he wanted to be senate president, and will do anything to reach his goals, this includes conniving with the opposition party members of the PDP to seek vote to get to the post of senate leader.

                  

Bukola Saraki had refused to meet the President, Muhammadu Buhari, instead went ahead to seek votes at the time he was called, and also refuses to meet with Vice-president, Yemi Osinbajo, instead said he won't meet with a "mere commissioner", referring to Osinbajo former political post at Lagos state.

Since Bukola Saraki emergence, all efforts of him to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari had proved abortive, he had also wanted to follow the president to his Hometown, Daura in Katsina state to take part in the commencement of the Ramadan, but the president rejected the move.

                  

Bukola Saraki sensing danger in the air, planned a silent visit to the vice-president to apologize for the "mere commissioner" statement he made in the heat of the pre-election. 

Though President Buhari might have agreed to the victory of the senate president, Bukola Saraki, he had not shown any public validation since the emergence of Bukola Saraki as senate president. A source of Sahara reporters claimed that Mr Bukola Saraki is a corrupt person and might be the problem with the new government fighting corruption.

Bukola Saraki still trying to find a way in meeting President Muhammadu Buhari had gone to meet the former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, a close friend of Muhammadu Buhari to help settle the rift between the senate president and the presidency.

The president is not happy with how Bukola Saraki won the senate president election, using the back door, and if he could use this method to gain power, what is the loyalty of Bukola Saraki to the APC government, all is it all about winning anytime he wants to, and what will stop him from working backdoor with other political parties to get the president impeached?
