Chief Ayo Adebanjo, Afenifere leader
Leader of Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, says President Muhammadu Buhari has lost control of the country’s leadership, adding that nobody needs to pass a vote of no confidence in him before the whole world knows that he has failed Nigerians.
The 93-year-old Afenifere leader stated this in an exclusive interview on Tuesday.
He was reacting to claims by presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, that disruptive elements were recruiting ethnic groups and politicians with the motive of convening conferences where a vote of no confidence will be passed in the President.
Adesina in a statement on Tuesday had also said the purpose of the move was to further throw the country into turmoil.

President Muhammadu Buhari chose the best time to embark on his frequent medical tours to London to be the period when Nigeria doctors under the aegis of National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) is on strike due to poor condition of service and many other unfulfilled promises by the federal government.
It did not prick the conscience of our President that while he was out to look after his own health in a well-equipped foreign hospital, the health of millions of those he took an oath to look after their welfare, was in jeopardy, not only due to the poor state of hospitals in Nigeria, but also as a result of Nigerian doctors being on strike. This, to us, is not only selfishness, but also insensitive on the part of our President.

President Muhammadu Buhari and the Attorney-General of the Federation(AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami have argued the President was empowered by the Constitution to retain Mohammed Adamu as the Inspector General of Police (IGP) as long as it suits him.
They equally argued that the President is allowed by the Constitution to extend the IGP’s tenure as he wishes.
Their position is contained in the joint response they filed to a suit instituted by a lawyer, Maxwell Opara, challenging, among others, the President’s decision to extend Adamu’s stay as the IGP for another three months from February 1, 2021 when he ordinarily ought to retire.
