I used to criticize Prof. Osinbajo for everything wrong with Nigeria. I must confess that I also said things that I am now ashamed of, I think it was down to my knowledge base at the time.
Please before you begin to demand heaven and earth from Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, please educate yourself with this piece. The man deserves more appreciation and respect.
Constitutionally, the executive functions of the Nigerian vice president includes participation in all cabinet meetings and, by statute, membership in the National Security Council, the National Defence Council, Federal Executive Council, and the Chairman of National Economic Council.
Although the vice president may take an active role in establishing policy in the Executive Branch by serving on such committees and councils, the relative power of the Nigerian vice president’s office depends upon the duties delegated by the president.
Let’s wait until he becomes President in 2023 then hold him accountable for every action of the government.
