The Presidency on Wednesday stated that President Muhammadu Buhari is aware of the sacking of Lawal Daura, the Director General of the Department of State Services.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said there was no way Acting President Yemi Osinbajo would sack Daura without uimity with Buhari.
Speaking to State House a News Media correspondent, he said since there was no rift between the two leaders, he expected that the decision would be a uimous one.
Adesina said: “What we will like to say for the umpteenth time is that the Presidency is one.
“Whenever the President is proceeding on vacation, he transmits power to the Vice President, who then becomes the Acting President. On this occasion, he also did that. So, the acting President has all the powers of a President.
“Now, it is a matter of decency and we know that the acting President is a decent man.
“There is no tussle for power, there is no tough battle between him and the President.
“When something like what happened yesterday (Tuesday) will happen, there will be uimity.
“There is no way there won’t be uimity on that kind of decision. It is not something that will be discussed with the press, but know that there was uimity in the decision.”
