He has refused to see such officials who sneak to the U.K with files for his signature, it was gathered yesterday. Buhari, authoritative government sources said, rejected the files and asked the affected government functionaries to take all documents and issues to Acting President Osinbajo.
He has also refused to grant audience to ministers and some presidential aides who indicated interest to see him. But the President met with First Lady Aisha during her recent trip to London, contrary to social media reports.
Sources said the President insisted that his administration runs one Presidency and since there is an Acting President in place, any attempt to create a division by anyone will not be tolerated.
In line with his belief in due process, the President directed that all files and documents be made available to the Acting President. A top source said: “Despite the fact that he is fast recuperating, the President has tried as much as possible to stick to one presidency.
He has refused to see some government officials who went to London to see him instead of being at their desks to work. He also returned all files and documents to those who brought them to London.
The President gave stern instructions that all files, documents and issues needing decisions should be taken to the Acting President. He does not want a divided government. Buhari is living up to his Spartan discipline. .
Those involved in taking files and documents to London had their ego deflated. And the truth is that the President has been speaking with the Acting President.
The declaration of the First Lady that the President was pleased with the conduct and performance of the Acting President was at the prompting of her husband to checkmate those who indulge in flying to London for unnecessary consultations and approvals.”
