Presidency confirms sack of Osinbajo’s aides

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo

The Presidency has confirmed that President Muhammadu Buhari laid off some aides to Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo as part of the ongoing overhauling of the seat of government.

โ€œThe exercise, which has been ordered by the President, is to streamline decision-making, cut down multiple authorities and reduce the cost of administration.
โ€œIt is also an appropriate response to the general perception that the Presidency has an oversized and bloated workforce which acts as a drag on efficiency.

โ€œAs may have been noticed by discerning members of the public, a number of political appointees among the few that served in the office of the President were not returned for the Second Term.

โ€œThe office of the Vice President, His Excellency Yemi Osinbajo has, in compliance with the directive of the President, equally been shed of a number of such appointeesโ€, a State House statement by Buhariโ€™s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, said on Friday.

Thirty-five of Osinbajoโ€™s aides were affected in the exercise so far.
