The Arewa Youth Integrity Forum (AYIF) has described as mischievous recent reports on social media that wife of the president, Mrs Aisha Buhari is acting as president while Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai functions as vice president in the absence of the president.
The youth group said the claim is a deliberate attempt to cause disaffection in the land by persons who are criminally trying to paint the northern part of the country as politically domineering and in disregard of the constitution.
A statement by AYIF National President, Comrade Ibrahim Abubakar stated that Vice President Yemi Osibanjo and not Aisha Buhari is acting president.
He said, “All Nigerians, the right thinking ones, are aware that President Muhammadu Buhari is President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria with Professor Yemi Osinbajo as Vice President. In a record making move, President Muhammadu Buhari properly notified the National Assembly of his 10-day medical leave and Professor Osinbajo’s status as acting President in that time span.
“It is therefore sad that this kind of wicked rumour is making the rounds at a time when Nigerians, especially from within his party, should support Mr President with prayers.
