By Professor Yemi Osinbajo moments ago disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari as has been brought to speed with happenings in the country while he was away in London and now ready to get back to work.
He made this known while briefing press men after a long closed door meeting with President Buhari at the Presidential Villa.
Recall that Buhari got back into the country on Friday after a long vacation and communicated is return to the National Assembly earlier today.
Osinbajo, who has been in Acting capacity on behalf of Buhari has revealed that he is now back to his former position as the country’s Vice President.
Prof Osinbajo said, “He (Buhari) is very well. We just had a very long meeting where basically trying to bring the President up to speed as to some of the things we have done while he he was away. And he has given a few directives on what we should be doing on so many areas, the north east, budget, the economy, a wide range of issues.
“He held a meeting with me for over an hour where we discussed a wide range of issues so his readiness for work is not in doubt at all. In fact, he is over ready (for work).”
Asked if he handed over back to the president, Osinbajo said: “Oh yes! I’m back to my regular position as Vice President.”
On whether Buhari was impressed with the way he handled the country while the president was away, Osinbajo responded: “I think the president was reasonable satisfied.”
Asked to confirm if there would be a lot of delegation of duties due to Buhari’s health status, the vice president said: “I think the president as you know has always given me several responsibilities. I think what we must recognise is that the way this administration work is that it has always been team work. Very little is done without the president’s clearance.
“So, generally speaking so even with responsibilities that are my constitutional responsibilities, we have full discussions on them, we have full agreements on all of those issues.
“It is not necessarily delegation, yes in some cases delegation but by and large practically everything I discuss fully with him and have his endorsement before we are able to go on and do anything at all.”
