Civil Society Organization under the auspices of the Concerned Advocates for Good Governance, CAGG, has expressed disappointment over possible ‘side-lining’ of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Nigeria’s Vice President, under the current administration.
National Coordinator of the CAGG, Olusegun Bamgbose in a statement issued on Monday, claimed that the vice president was no longer part of the decision-making caucus in president Muhammadu Buhari’s government.
“It’s quite embarrassing that the Vice President of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has been left out of the scheme of things.
“He is not consulted or allowed to air his views about the security situation of the country,” Bamgbose claimed.
He further accused a cabal of playing politics with the lives of the citizens, asking why the government pays ransom to bandits.
Bamgbose lamented that the vice president who knows how banditry in the country can be handled is not being carried along.
“I have this strong feeling that he knows what to do to suppress the bandits, but most, unfortunately, he is not carried along in the scheme of things. The cabals seem to be playing politics with the lives of the citizens,” he said.
