Daily Trust reports that some sources in the Presidency claimed that the sacking of some of Osinbajo’s aides was aimed at reducing the influence of Osinabjo.
Letters allegedly relieving the aides of the vice president of their appointments were issued to those affected yesterday, the source reportedly said.
The report claimed that while some of the aides were believed to have been relieved of their duties due to redundancy, others were of the opinion that it was due to the unfolding drama of the 2023 election.
Top the list of those allegedly sacked included:
-Ajibola Ajayi, the daughter of former governor of Oyo state,
-Isiaka Abiola Ajimobi, who was appointed Special Assistant, Legal to the President (VP’s office) in August 2019.
-Ajayi was a former Special Adviser to the President on Bureau of Public Enterprises, BPE, VP’s office, from October 2015 to May 2019.
- Lanre Osinbona, the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on ICT;
- Lanre Osinbona, the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on ICT;
- Imeh Okon, SSA on Infrastructure;
-Jide Awolowo, SA, Oil & Gas;
-Gambo Manzo, SA Political
- Edobor Iyamu, SSA, Niger Delta.
The affected aides were said to have been deployed to different Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
A source who wished not to be named told the paper: “The letters were distributed to the affected aides through the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. They were not working within the precinct of the presidential villa.”
Another source disclosed that Osinbajo has retrieved the sacked letter waiting for Buhari’s return for clarification.
“The vice president has retrieved the sack letters from the affected aides. He is unhappy with the development and awaiting the return of the president from the United Kingdom,” the source said.

ReplyDeleteAnon 21:05, abeg stop this wrongful accusation, how could you have typed "Witch hunt" when it was not even done in a coven.

@ Keke it's just a metaphor
DeleteAnon 00:48 please don't be bordered some people just speak the English language they are not educated.
DeleteHahaha you are not educated yourself. What’s bordered? Awon oshi ITK!
DeleteThey were redeployed to other ministries abi? Wailers should wait and see if they won't appoint others to replace them before wailing biko.
ReplyDeleteEven if they replace them, it is still part of plan their plan to gag him.
DeleteEnter your comment...Hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteDem go soon impeach him disgracefully, with heaps of allegations.
ReplyDeleteThe media is good at blowing things out of proportion. I would rather wait for the VP's comment
ReplyDeletePlease shift small abeg, I'm also waiting for the VP.
DeleteBecause these unconfirmed sources were the ones Abati was talking about in a statement he released sometime ago
Nepotism appointments...2 of Ajimobi's kids and an Awolowo (his wife's relative)
ReplyDeleteStupid comment... So he shouldn't help friends and relatives. What if they are qualified for the job. Even atiku said he will help family and friends. If you like don't help urs when you get to the top... You will die alone.
DeleteExactly, and someone will be playing the victim.
DeleteExactly!
DeleteAnon 22:32, See that’s the problem. Osibanjo is very self centered. Go to his office and you will see how he has packed all the oduduwa lineage from London and calling different roles for them. This list is nothing until you are close. He will be worse Precious when it comes to appointment of his own only.
DeleteWhere did you see two of his kids? Read again.
DeleteAnd Buhari is not the Nepotism itself?
DeleteThe whole system is creaking and swaying dangerously

ReplyDeleteTo be honest I support Buhari on this. What are they advising on. This is pure nepotism. Osinbajo should be ashamed of himself

ReplyDeleteNobody was sacked. Enough of this fake news.
