Vice President Yemi Osibanjo shouldn’t have had anything to do with President Muhammadu Buhari’s bankrupt and rapidly collapsing government, if he hasn’t committed class suicide. A former advocate of a restructured Nigeria and its egalitarian statehood has severally been caught in the bid vassilating between it’s desirability. Any surprise that Prof Osinbajo has all along […]
