President Muhammadu
Buhari has begun a short vacation from Friday February 5 to Wednesday
February 10, 2016.
TheCable
report continues:
According
to a statement by Femi Adesina, special adviser on media and publicity to
the president, Yemi Osinbajo, the vice president, will perform the
functions of the president while Buhari’s vacations lasts.
“In
compliance with Section 145 (1) of the Nigerian Constitution, President Buhari
has dispatched a formal notice of his vacation to the Senate President and the
Speaker of the House of Representatives,” read the statement.
Since
Ibrahim Babangida did it in 1987 when he went for operations in France, this is
the first time a president is officially handing over to the vice president
while on vacation.
