The Presidency has come out to comment on the speculation that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is being sidelined from governance after the inauguration of an Economic Advisory Team (EAC) to replace the Economic Management Team (EMT).
Speaking on behalf of the Presidency while appearing on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Wednesday September 18, Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina said all the President did this week was just to “tweak governance and get the best for Nigerians”.
He said “The Vice President is the number two man in the country. the new economic advisory body can also relate with the Vice President as necessary. It’s just some Nigerians who want to drive a wedge between the President and the VP, that read meanings into everything and insinuate but there’s no need for that”.
