I Have ‘Perfect’ Relationship With Osinbajo, Says Buhari 

President Muhammadu Buhari, on Sunday, debunked insinuations of breakdown in relationship between him and his vice, Yemi Osinbajo.

There have been reports that the pair are enduring a sour working environment in Aso Rock.

The rumour was followed by the sacking of at least 38 aides in the vice president’s office by Buhari in 2019. The aides included senior special assistants, special assistants, personal assistants and technical assistants.

Also, the Economic Management Team chaired by the vice president was dissolved and replaced with the Economic Advisory Council, placed under the direct purview of the president.

However, in an interview with The Interview magazine published online on Sunday, Buhari described his relationship with Osinbajo as “perfect”.
