        Very interesting read, comprehensive and detailed. @MBuhari is very lucky to have a loyal and competent Vice President @ProfOsinbajo to is very lucky to have a @NGRPresident that trust him and is giving him free hand to work. They both complement each other perfectly

        @BBCAfrica, your caption is wrong! This western press still do not get it! How many ppl care for @ProfOsinbajo? He is not better than his boss @MBuhari. He's only acting out an edited script so spare us! Osinbajo isn't my favourite leader and i know i speak for many Nigerians

        there is no where in the Nigerian constitution that says power must always rotate between north and south during every Presidential election cycle

        Maybe it should be in the constitution then cos we have brilliant and competent minds on both axis. What we need is unity and sense of belonging

        They should constitutionalize it then, so we won't be subject all these evil political maneuvers every election cycle.

        That is sad to read, unfortunately too many capable citizens are sidelined. He has the Skills, I think even Datti Baba Ahmed reiterated this in his video on the recover of the dollar agst Naira. This is why must only elect intelligent people as leaders, Buhari is a failure.
