President Buhari has reacted to reports of 35 persons reportedly dismissed from the office of the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo. Reports were rife online early this month that the alleged silent war between the President and his Vice had taken a different dimension with the president terminating the appointment of 35 aides of the Vice President. Nigerians were of the opinion that the move was to stiffle Osinbajo and get him to resign.
