The Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo is keeping mum on the details of his discussion with President Buhari. Osinbajo who had quickly dashed to London yesterday to see the ailing President and is back today, said he would not go into specific details of what he discussed with ailing President Muhammadu Buhari in London, United Kingdom on Tuesday. He, however, said he had a good conversation on wide-ranging issues with the President for over an hour.
“Well, first as you know, I went to see him. I went to check up on him and find out how he was doing. I had of course been speaking with him on the phone and I thought it will be a good thing to go and see him and you know, generally check up on how he was doing and also to brief him on developments back at home.
“So we had a very good time, we had a very good conversation on wide-ranging issues and he is in very good spirit. He is recuperating very quickly and he is doing very well. He is high spirits and his humour is still there. Like I said, he is recuperating very fast and he is doing very very well. He will back I think very very shortly. Very shortly. I think we should really expect him back very shortly.”
When asked what it was they discussed, Osinbajo said he couldn’t possibly disclose it. But was emphatic that report of the suspended SGF and NIA DG as well as the inauguration of the two ministers were not part of the discussion.
“No. We didn’t discuss inauguration or anything like that. We didn’t but we discussed wide-ranging issues. I really can’t go into specifics of all of the discussions we had.”
In addition, he couldn’t be specific on the exact date he hopes the ailing president will be back. He also didn’t say if it will be before the expiration of 90 days as the president has so far spent 60 days out of the country
“It would be wrong to apply deadline. No no. Deadlines aren’t a very good thing but as I said, he is recuperating fast. We are expecting him very shortly. Much sooner than you will expect.”
Osinbajo did however say that the two ministers-designate would soon be inaugurated but had no date as to when that would happen.
“Well, I’m not in a position to say anything. I don’t have a date in mind but I’m sure very very soon, we will do that.
