The ruling party Chairman expressed satisfaction that the amended Deep Offshore Act which was signed into law in London, emphasizing that it shows the President can rule the nation from anywhere, but contrary to Oshiomole’s position many Nigerians condemned the move, wondering why taxpayer’s funds would be used to fly Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, to London for a function that could have simply been ceded to the Vice President. .
“I think by signing into law at the Nigerian House in London, it shows that wherever the President is, he is presiding over Nigeria and with the benefit of modern technology we have passed the Mongo Park era’.
“So signing it in London for me has also made several statements. Namely, that wherever national interest is involved, the President is on duty and wherever he is he is presiding. I also salute his assenting to the Bill as fast as he did and even at the Nigerian House in London,” he said.
Penpushing reports that, Buhari travelled on a private two weeks visit to London, but did not hand over power to his Vice, Prof Yemi Osinbajo before his trip, indicating he would continue to exercise presidential functions from the foreign land.
