VP’s rising profile worries Aso Rock Cabal
Plot to sabotage Southwest bid for presidency by clipping Osinbajo’s wings
In apparent bid to further its 2023 ambitions, the Cabal in the Presidency has taken decisive steps to neutralize the VP, seen as one of the most influential elements of the Buhari administration from the South and cut him off any significant engagements with the Nigerian people.
The VP and the EMT he chairs was suddenly replaced by an Economic Advisory Council which will report directly to the President. Shocked Nigerians have expressed dismay at the curious need to unceremoniously terminate the EMT composed of the VP, several ministers replacing same with a private sector Advisory Council.
But that was by no means the beginning of the Cabal’s moves. When Buhari announced the ministers’ portfolios and created a new Ministry of Social DEVELOPMENT, Humanitarian & Disaster Management, many saw the hands of the Cabal trying to take away the most popular and acclaimed programs of the Buhari administration from the VP. How that move is to be done remains to be seen.
Earlier, the story was also making the rounds that Buhari’s Chief of Staff, ABBA Kyari was in collaboration with Babagana Kingibe, Nasir El Rufai of Kaduna, John Fayemi of Ekiti & Senator Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun to take over power from Buhari in 2023.
To achieve this scheme, the team concluded early that it was necessary to pull down the rising profile of the VP & drive a wedge between him & the President as quickly as possible. .
This became especially urgent as the South West was being discussed as the Zone to produce the next President after Buhari.
With the Economic Management Team dissolved and the Social Investment Programmes consigned to a Ministry, it is clear that that the Cabal has somehow confused and blindsided the President to render his VP redundant.
What happens in the coming days will show how successful or not, the controversially powerful Cabal really is, as it steps up on its 2023 anti-Southwest mission.

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos The battle for President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor in 2023 is already causing ripples in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, national leader of the party, and Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State are at loggerheads over who takes over as the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF). Both men are rumoured to be nursing the ambition of succeeding President Buhari in 2023. El-Rufai, at the weekend, had taken a swipe at Tinubu’s dominance of the political structure in Lagos State, saying it was time to end godfatherism in the state just as he ended it in Kaduna State. To free Lagos from Tinubu’s grip, El-Rufai said, one of the best ways is to start the campaign now by embarking on a study to understand why five million out of the six million voters in Lagos State did not vote. “Here in Lagos, you have over six million registered voters, only about a million voted (in 2019 general elections); five million did not vote.

By Seun Opejobi The Yoruba Council of Youths Worldwide has described remark by the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai that he would teach people of Lagos State how to end godfatherism as “abysmally insulting”. The youths said El-Rufai lacked the credibility to utter such seditious statement in Yoruba land. Addressing journalists yesterday in Lagos State, the council’s president, Aremo Oladotun Hassan warned El-Rufai to desist from acts that could earn him disgrace from Yoruba nation. He challenged the Governor, who claimed to have ended godfatherism in his state, to tell the world how he has improved the lives of people in Kaduna State with evidence. He also warned that youths in the South West would reject any attempt by any individual, to intrude or disrespect political leaders in the region. Hassan wondered how someone, who ought to focus on how to end insecurity and abject poverty ravaging his state and region, would “come to the megacity, the Centre of Excellence
