Aso Rock cabal led by the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, have reportedly met in London to weaken the constitutional authority of Acting President Yemi Osinbajo at the presidential palace in Abuja.
The new scheme comes after an earlier attempt to hijack Mr. Osinbajo’s constitutional authority though letter transmitted to the National Assembly failed, SaharaReporters quoted authoritative sources.
The sources revealed that the cabal had the surreptitious meeting a few days ago in London at which a handful of disgruntled presidential aides were in attendance, but without the knowledge of the ailing President Muhammadu Buhari, who is in the United Kingdom on a medical vacation. The officials are described as abhorrent of Buhari’s transfer of presidential power transfer to his deputy, preferring that one of them be charged with the exercise of such authority in the absence of the President.
SaharaReporters learned that the meeting resolved to adopt fresh tactics to constrain the Acting President by seeking to foist on him spurious and patently false allegations.
One source stated that the cabal does not care that their activities would amount to a violation of the Nigerian constitution.
The sources say the inner circle members fear not only that the move would reduce their presidential influence, but that it may also cause them to account for some of their shady deals that have been covered up so far, especially in view of the uncertainty of Buhari’s health.
