A former governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose, says by saying President Muhammadu Buhari had no prior knowledge of the trial of Chief Justice of Nigeria Walter Onnoghen by Code of Conduct Tribunal for non-declaration of assets, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has made it clear that the president is not in charge of anything.

Fayose, in a statement yesterday by his media aide, Mr Lere Olayinka, said: “It should now be clear to Nigerians that Mr Buhari is not in charge of anything. He might not even be in charge of his existence, not to talk of being conscious of his position as the president of Nigeria.

“Is the Vice President saying that Minister of Justice can unilaterally file charges against a high profile government official like CJN?

“What the Vice President just told Nigerians is that the government is truly under the firm control of the cabal that the First Lady, Mrs Aisha Buhari, said Nigerians should rescue her husband from. Therefore, Nigerians should rescue themselves from the hands of the cabal and elect a president that will be in charge of his government.”
