Is there a difference?Please we need those with Knowledge of English....
''Osinbajo would perform the duties of my office” -President Buhari January 2017
“Osinbajo would coordinate the activities of the government”-President Buhari May 2017
Any Difference?...
Hahahahahj,people can be so controversial. I have been reading tweets on it since morning.
ReplyDeleteIt's the same thing
ReplyDeleteOsinbajo, is not the elected president so whatever he's doing is coordinating.
No. In the absense of pmb osinbanjo has sane powers as acting president which the 2nd letter is trying to deny him
DeleteI don't think there was anything wrong with what he said sha...
ReplyDeleteAs a president he coordinates the affairs of the government. Now Osinbajo is doing same...so???
Exactly. Just semantics. Nigerians are just melodramatic.
DeleteWhichever way they choose to interpret the action words, it's backed by the constitution. So no wahala.
All na grammar jare.
ReplyDeleteWhy couldn't help just write...."In my absence vote osinbanjo would be acting in my capacity as acting president"
ReplyDeleteSimple at least all dis matter for no dey...Buhari should stop playing games with dis country abeg
Seems people like wahala too much. na dem sabi.
ReplyDeleteAwon grammarians oya ooo food don land, come and tell us. I see no difference at all
Abi o @Chi Exotic
ReplyDeletePeople are just finding fault up and down, na wa
ReplyDeleteI don't know the difference, but one thing I'm sure of is that Buhari is not happy the way Osinbajo was praised the other time he traveled.
ReplyDeleteIt's different. He's coordinating isn't the same as performing.
ReplyDeletePerforming is to execute.
Coordinating is to bring together, so work with others without an executive fiat.
Na you know. Who eventually takes the decisions. Be looking for hole wey no dey. There is no difference is just the choice of words.
DeleteWord!!! You truly have"knowledge of English"!
DeleteAnonymous, you are correct. Osinbajo is still the VP and will continue to act in that capacity. He won't be acting as the president. There's a difference.
DeleteSee Lovelace here o. How far na😀
DeleteIt really doesn't matter what words were used to empower him as long as he gets the job done.
ReplyDeleteNo darling. It matters. He's actually not empowering him like you said. The vice president can only perform the duties of a president in the capacity of the "acting president" NOT Coordinate. Simply put, osibanjo will oversee the affairs of the country as VP aka caretaker. His powers are still limited.
DeleteIts not same thing
ReplyDeletePerform and coordinate then office and govt...
ReplyDeleteTo me Osinbajo is the Acting President whether they like it or not, abi is it Saraki/Aisha/Lawal Daura or Mamman Daura that should be the Acting President?
That Senator should go and rest joor and use his time/money to build bore-holes, health centres to his community.
Nigerians! Always wasting thier time on irrelevant things. Weda Buhari clarifies it properly in his letter or not, who is the acting president going by the constitution, Femi Fani Kayode?
ReplyDeleteMtschewww
I think it is the same meaning
ReplyDeleteI could be wrong
Some tribes in Nigeria like using the word coordinator or coordinating to describe a leader's position
So; Stella, na how much you go pay me na?
:-)
lovelace stop being an illiterate person please.
ReplyDeleteIt is you that is the illiterate. Be finding hole where there is none. Are you not are aware that he invoked the aspect of the constition ceding power temporary to the vice president. Any way it's not your fault when you have been bastardized by president take all viz a viz draconian rule simple English you can not understand.
DeleteIfeyinwa, coordinator is different from acting president. The word coordinating president is unknown to the Nigerian constitution. There's no ambiguity in what is written in the constitution.
ReplyDeleteFor example, a coordinating vice president is different from an acting president.......
Buhari or whoever wrote that letter on his behalf must have done so to protect the cabal while the president is away. But God pass them that the Senate were able to see the ambiguity in the letter.......smh
Pls it means the same thing haba Nigerians,stop exaggerating things
ReplyDeleteKikikiki. Shebi most of you said Buhari is an illiterate. How come his choice of words is confusing you 'literate' lots?
ReplyDeleteAbeg leave Baba jorr. Have you heard Osinbajo complain? Why cry more than the bereaved??
