Everything I did as Acting-President was first approved by Buhari – Osinbajo

Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has said he had the approval of President Muhammadu Buhari for “practically everything” he did after he took over the reins of power as Acting-President during Buhari’s absence for medical treatment in London.

He disclosed this in the State House on Monday while addressing the media after a meeting with the Buhari.

Osinbajo: “We just had a very long meeting … basically trying to bring the president up to speed as to some of the things we have done while he was away

“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.

“His readiness for work is not in doubt at all, He is very well.”

It can be recalled that during the almost two-month absence of Buhari, Acting-President Osinbajo drove policy changes, concluding an economic reform plan required for a World bank loan.

The central bank also devalued the naira for retail customers after an economic chaired by him called for an urgent review.
