Buhari: Why I sacked some of Osinbajo’s aides

Chidi Samuel| President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday explained that recent disengagement of some presidential aides was “aimed at enhancing service delivery to Nigerians”.

The President who made the disclosure as he returned to the country, after his 15–day holiday in the United Kingdom in a statement by presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, regretted the decision had been given ‘ethnic and political’’ interpretations.

Buhari assured Nigerians he would work harder and ensure accountability from bottom to top.

The statement read, ‘‘They said 35 people were sacked in the vice president’s office. We just created some ministries and we reorganized and people are giving it ethnic and political dimensions. It is unfortunate.’’

‘‘Whoever is responsible for government property, [should know] it is public property, it is not personal and he has to manage it according to the law.
