Meanwhile, The Herald reported that

Sequel to President Muhammadu Buhari’s approval of the appointment of the Special Adviser to the government on Finance and Economy, the president has also approved the dismissal of 35 aides from the office of the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo.

This was reported by Daily Nigerian News, in its publication on Wednesday.

According to the report, amongst the 35 aides who are to be issued official sack letters are Senior Special Assistants, Special Assistants, Personal Assistants and Technical Assistants.

The aides were initially posted to line ministries last month, an orchestrated plan to deny them access to the villa, a move in anticipation of their dismissal and also a move made to cut on the level of influence of the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo.

It was said: “Although more than half of the aides are under the payroll of donor agencies, the cabal eased them out in order to whittle down the influence of the vice president,” said a source familiar with the development.”
