Indications emerged on Wednesday, June 3, 2015 that Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo was ‘locked
out’ of President Muhammadu Buhari’s meeting with the National Security Adviser on the orders of
the President.
A top government source who pleaded anonymity disclosed to that Vice-President 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”.
According to the source, it was the thinking of the President that it was too early in the day to bring Vice-President Osinbajo into the President’s first security briefing.
