Osinbajo Locked Out Of President Buhari’s Security Meeting

Indications emerged on Wednesday, June 3, 2015
that Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo was ‘locked
out’ of President Muhammadu Buhari’s meeting
with the National Security Adviser on the orders of
the President.
A top Government source who pleaded anonymity
disclosed to The Trent on Wednesday that Vice-
President Osinbajo was refused ‘security
clearance’ to attend the meeting as a result of
security concerns by the Commander-in-Chief
allegedly over what he described as a “very
sensitive meeting”. According to the source, it was
the thinking of the President that it was too early in
the day to bring Vice-President Osinbajo into the
President’s first security briefing.
The June 1 meeting with NSA Sambo Dasuki,
which lasted for hours, was part of what sources
called “debriefing process” and was done behind
closed doors in the absence of the Vice-President.
Dasuki remained with the president till after 4pm
when he left the Defence House, Daily Trust
reports.
Buhari and Vice-President Osinbajo are yet to
move into the Presidential Villa, 6 days after their
inauguration.
