Buhari will govern Nigeria from London, no need transmitting power to Osinbajo – Presidency

The Presidency has ruled out speculations of the President transmitting power to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo following his Medical trip to the United Kingdom. The presidency noted that President Muhammadu Buhari can rule from whatever part of the world he finds himself and so no need transmitting power.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, who appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Tuesday’s edition explained that Buhari has not contravened the laws of the land by not transmitting power to his deputy.

“He (Buhari) will continue from wherever he is,” Shehu said when asked if the President had transferred duties to the vice president.

He added, “The requirement of the law is that if the President is going to be absent in the country for 21 days and more, then that transmission is warranted. In this particular instance, it is not warranted.”
