The former new media aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri has called on President Buhari to assume the role of a ceremonial President.
According to Daily Post, Omokri also said the President should let Osinbajo go on with the business of managing the Nation’s affairs.
The pastor of the of the Mind of Christ Christian Cente in United States of America, also said the arrangement will allow the Vice President consolidate on the progress he made while Buhari was away.
According to him, “Perhaps there is a solution that can benefit Nigeria with President Muhammadu Buhari’s return which will also preserve the good work Acting-President Professor Yemi Osinbajomi has been doing and also give the President room to ‘rest’.
“Why can’t we consider a return to our pre 1966 governance mode where, like Nnamdi Azikiwe, President Buhari will be the ceremonial President and like Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Acting President Osinbajo would preside over day to day management and leadership of the economy and country, leaving only the armed forces and foreign relations to the real President (Buhari)?
“Without being mischievous, I think this will guarantee the sustenance of the economic progress we have witnessed under Osinbajo and give President Buhari room to ‘rest’.”
President Buhari returned to Nigeria on Friday, March 10, 2017, after spending 49 days in London.
