Outrage As Ganduje’s Media Aide Mocks Osinbajo, Calls Him ‘Vice President Academics’

The director-general, media and communications for the Kano State government, Salihu Tanko Yakasai, famously known as Dawisu, has described Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as ‘Vice President Academics.’

Ismail Kabir, a Twitter user had said via his handle that it appears all the political big wigs of the country are in New York, the United States for the 74th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

In his response, Dawusi, while referring to Yemi Osinbajo said Vice president (Academics) is still around.

Vice President (Academics) is still around sir. https://t.co/5l9JoZ1HKM

Although Dawisu says it’s just a tweet and has nothing to it, the comment somehow gives credence to allegations that some cabal in the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC) are out to reduce Osinbajo’s political relevance, and Nigerians are not having it.

On a more serious note, Dawisu not only insulted Osinbajo in that tweet but also the entire South West. This is the second time he has done such publicly.

Enough reason for him to lose his job.

More than enough reason for SW APC youth wing to report him.

Dawisu insults and denigrates SW APC at every turn, yet they keep capping for him. Ki olorun ma se wa ni eru aye

If Dawisu still has a job by weekend then I will completely give up on South West APC.

As far as I’m concerned, Dawisu is only tweeting the things that reflect the feelings of his boss & his cohorts..

Dawisu is so uncouth, not worthy to be called a friend.

A snake is what I see.

All those things he tweets occasionally are his intentions, he should geddifok.

Are we all going to pretend that we didn’t see that tweet from @dawisu that he called Prof Osinbajo the VP Academics.The Southwest people produced a professor for that position, you all in the north produced a man who needs 50SANs to defend ordinary WAEC cert.

There are people on this TL that need to publicly speak up about Dawisu’s tweet or forever lose the regard most of us have for them. Leadership is not only for convenient times. Speak up or lose it.

When Ganduje was caught on tape stuffing his Babariga with $ my people from SW were quiet like a river but Dawisu wont spare any opportunity to throw insults at them and their ancestors.

Who’s the slave?
