<\/p>\nBuhari also directed the incoming Ministers to direct all executive matters to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Boss Mustapha.<\/p>\n
The President gave this directive during his closing remarks at the two-day Presidential Retreat for the incoming Ministers at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.<\/p>\n
Some Nigerians, who took to their Twitter handles to react, condemned the directive while others said Buhari was only ensuring that Kyari carried out his responsibilities.<\/p>\n
Their reactions gathered by DAILY POST read below:<\/p>\n
@Donteewrites: \u201cHow will I be a President and I won\u2019t spend at least 2hrs with my Ministers weekly 4 brainstorming session where action plans on different sectors will be discussed and review our progress. This is not even FEC but heart to heart meeting. See people wey go school defend Abba Kyari.\u201d<\/p>\n
@ayemojubar: \u201cBuhari handed overall power to Abba Kyari while he runs in the background like a service. I have a question, what about Osinbajo the VP? Is he only relevant in this administration for tourism, visitations and disbursement? A prof, a SAN, a pastor? #Nigeria\u201d<\/p>\n
@Babatundequdu13: \u201cSince president Buhari will be too busy to attend to ministers directly I won\u2019t be surprised if he travels out and hands over the country to our prime minister abba kyari. It\u2019s only in Nigeria chief of staff will be more superior than the VP. What\u2019s the job of osinbajo?\u201d<\/p>\n
@ApeteAbiodun2: \u201cAbba Kyari is the new Sherriff in town\u2026 We love our new Sherriff
\n#Abba Kyari\u201d<\/p>\n
@Donteewrites: The person I pity in this whole stuff is VP Osinbajo. How sure are we that Osinbajo is not reporting to Abba Kyari?? It\u2019s messy\u2026. Ministers should report to Abba Kyari but when it\u2019s time for Tradermoni they will send Osinbajo and not Kyari. Sad stuff\u2026 Very Sad!\u201d<\/p>\n
@Taiwo16556987: Abba Kyari news and how many of us handle it here, confirmed most of we youth are hopeless<\/p>\n
\u201cMany of us just talk politics without understanding the fundamental of it. Educated youths come here to rubbish their education. If you don\u2019t know what a chief of staff means google it.\u201d<\/p>\n
@obi_Nwosu: \u201cIf you made a deal with President Muhammadu Buhari, did you also make a deal with Chief of Staff Abba Kyari? This 4 year movie will be very interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n
@miyen_akeke: \u201cSo the correspondences and Ministers Abba Kyari doesn\u2019t want the President to see, he won\u2019t be able to. Here is a President that doesn\u2019t want a direct communication with the people of Nigeria and he just extended that gesture to his Ministers.\u201d<\/p>\n
@ayurexars: \u201cFrom time immemorial, the chief of staff has always been the gate pass to the president of any country.
\nSome are even asking why not the vice-president? The president only asked Abba Kyari to do his job and for the ministers to follow due process. How\u2019s this a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
@Ike_Grandeur: \u201cWait..ooo, you got employed as a member of the management team and you have no access to your MD yet none of the appointees has resigned?<\/p>\n
\u201cPoliticians are destroying Nigeria now Abba Kyari is has been appointed the President.\u201d<\/p>\n
@ADB_Gombe: \u201cWithout Abba Kyari, Buhari is nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
@shamsudeenAY: \u201cReading opinions about Abba kyari shows you how dumb some Nigerians are. The president advised all meetings request should go through his chief of staff which is a normal procedure in the world. But some stupid thinking people thinks Abba is controlling the president.\u201d<\/p>\n
@ChelsTracy: \u201cYou\u2019re not educated. Has there even been a time the VP answers to the Chief of Staff? Do you know the VP has his own Chief of Staff? Read and stop being ignorant. As for Abba Kyari that is his function.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
