A former presidential candidate, Oby Ezekwesili, has claimed that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration used Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as “cannon fodder” for the alleged bad economic policy decisions made by the president, Igbere TV reports.

Igbere TV gathers that cannon fodder is a term used to describe combatants who are regarded by government or military command as expendable in the face of enemy fire.

Ezekwesili, in reaction to Buhari’s constitution of a new Economic Advisory Council on Monday, said Osinbajo is not to blame for how the Nigerian economy had turned out because he “had no power over core economic policy decisions.”

The president had dissolved the Economic Management Team head by Osinbajo and constituted the Economic Advisory Council to advise him on “economic policy matters, including fiscal analysis, economic growth and a range of internal and global economic issues working with the relevant cabinet members and heads of monetary and fiscal agencies.”

The council has Doyin Salami as chairman, Mohammed Sagagi as vice-chairman and Chukwuma Soludo and Bismark Rewane, as members, among others.

Speaking on the move, Ezekwesili noted that the economic advisory council system was copied from the American presidential system.

Buharism!

Use, blame then dump!

Osibanjo still handles Trader Moni and burial condolences.

They will strip Trader Money from him soon and leave him with Condolence duties
If Osibanjo tells you he is coming to your house mehn you need to do serious prayer and fasten against untimely death. Hausa Fulani has no brother if they smile at you then know that you are their slave.

this woman is confused, at first you criticized bubu economic teams, now he change and form another one you are still criticizing

Only a gullible political follower will argue otherwise.

He has no political relevance so its expected they will use and dump him

I heard he's been reduced to a mere chief funeral registra

Osibanjo is not an economist and should not have handled anything economy. Well, he did in the last 4.5 years, and we have seen the dismal outcome. He should have been assigned to his forte, which is legal matters. Until Nigeria stops putting round pegs in square holes, it will keep taking 2 steps forward and 5 steps backward; which means it will always remain in the negative territory. Befuddling how simple common sense eludes Nigerians. Shame!!!
