The Presidency, has however, insisted that there is no rift between the President and his embattled Vice. Multiple Presidency sources confirmed the sack of the Aides of the Vice President, heightening the tension in the country’s seat of power, amidst insinuations that the unfolding drama is about the 2023 Presidential election.

The Vice President reportedly has over 80 Aides, who were deployed in many strategic positions, with sources around the corridors of power saying that the recent attention around the Vice President, was aimed at reducing his influence, just as it happened to former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, shortly after ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo won a second term. A Presidency source said that letters relieving the Aides of the Vice President of their appointments, were issued to those affected, on Monday. It was gathered that the affected Aides were attached to different Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs. One of the sources, who sought anonymity said: “The letters were distributed to the affected Aides through the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. They were not working within the precinct of the Presidential Villa.”

However, two other Presidential Villa sources said that Osinbajo had retrieved the sack letters from the affected Aides, “pending the return of the President”. One of the sources said: “The Vice President has retrieved the sack letters from the affected Aides. He is unhappy with the development, and awaiting the return of the President from the United Kingdom.” The second source, who also corroborated the retrieval of the letters, said that the Vice President wants to know whether the 35 Aides were relieved of their appointments on the order of the President. “I have spoken to one of the affected persons who confirmed that the sack letters have been retrieved by their boss”, he said. President Buhari, who is on a 15-day private visit to the United Kingdom, is expected back home on November 17. It was also gathered that access tags to the Presidential Villa of some of the Aides of the Vice President, were retrieved on Monday, by Security Personnel attached to the Villa. Another report, however, suggested that the action was taken to prevent the Aides from being redundant, as some of the jobs being undertaken by them were no longer under the control of the Vice President.
