At first i didn't take this story seriously,i didn't even report it.I still don't know if i should take it seriously,but the fact that a so called security expert is talking about it had me thinking just maybe it might be true.
Now the explanation this guy gave is absurd.Totally ridiculous.Saying things like the reason Osinbajo was locked out of the security meeting is because,he has been in luxury all his life,does not have the stomach for gory seen and details.He also said Osinbajo was Tinubu's boy so he cannot yet be trusted by Buhari etc...I cannot believe someone can actually come up with all this garbage!
Prof yemi Osinbajo is the vice president of Nigeria. Whatever what is going on in the country,he should be privy to it at involved,full stop! No ifs buts or maybe's...If anything happens to Buhari today,he is the man that takes over,do you then still come up with all these silly excuses and say he cannot be involved in security meetings of the country?
Read the security expert's explanation below please...after the cut
A security expert has explained why Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has so far not been allowed to attend any of the national security meetings President Buhari has had with Service Chiefs since he assumed power. On June 2nd and yesterday June 10th, President Buhari met with the Service Chiefs without Osinbajo and this has led to some media houses reporting that the Vice President was "locked out" from the Defence House, venue of the meetings.
A security expert explains why the pastor and lawyer can't be allowed into such meetings for now. See that after the cut...
The security expert explaned that Vice President Osinbajo is not a trained military officer and so it will take the military some time before sensitive intelligence can be shared in his presence. He also made reference to the Vice President's affiliation to Tinubu. What he said below...
"I am sure he would have been invited if he had security background. Being a Professor of Law is fine, but in terms of intelligence and access to security information, you are nowhere near the rank of Colonel or equivalent in the Nigeria Military. Look, I have watched some footages that if the VP gets to see, he would lose appetite for days. Now, we have someone who has been in luxury virtually all his life, attaining the position of VP and some people are clamouring for his presence in highly sensitive talks. The truth is that the military hierarchy would not even feel comfortable saying some things in his presence. I can tell you that they respect Prof. Osinbajo as VP but they cannot trust him with information yet.
You cannot compare him to Buhari who served in many military roles, chased away a militia that was threatening Nigeria security, overthrew a military government, became Head of State, fought corruption and went ahead to instill discipline among a stubborn citizenry. The VP would have to go through what is called ‘Stimulation’. This is a process where he is lectured on terms, dealings, operations etc. of the military. His inner strength, strong heart and ability to keep things to himself will first be put to test before he gets access to some classified materials and information.
We must understand the fact that Osinbajo was a candidate promoted by Bola Tinubu (ex-Lagos Governor), he was not handpicked by Buhari. If the President had picked a vice, it is likely that such individual may get the access Osinbajo isn’t getting now. Everyone knows the VP has been loyal to Tinubu for decades and he cannot swear that he would not divulge details of these security meetings to his political godfather. So he has to earn it. Tinubu may have used his influence to put him in this position but he must draw a line between blind loyalty and national duty.” he told Daily Independent
