We heard the exclusive report on June 3, 2015 that Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo was ‘locked out’ of President Muhammadu Buhari’s meeting with the National Security Advisers on the orders of the President.
A Government source who pleaded anonymity disclosed to The Bloom Gist on Wednesday that Osinbajo was refused ‘security clearance’ to attend the meeting as a result of security concerns by the Commander-in-Chief allegedly over what he described as a “very sensitive meeting”. the source alsosaid that it was the thought of the President that it was too early in the day to bring Osinbajo into the President’s first security briefing.
The June 1 meeting with NSA Sambo Dasuki, which lasted for hours, was part of what sources called “debriefing process” and was done behind closed doors in the absence of the Vice-President.
Dasuki remained with the president till after 4pm when he left the Defence House.
Buhari and Vice-President Osinbajo are yet to move into the Presidential Villa, 6 days after their inauguration.
