“Contrary to the widely held belief that the Acting President Osinbajo, a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, and a Professor of law is above board, a forensic analysis of his activities since he assumed office reveals that he has consistently abused his office, negating the principles of Federal Character and has systematically favored members of the Redeemed Church and his Yoruba tribe.”
“A first pointer to what was to become a pattern of this incestuous scheme was the nomination and subsequent appointment of Pastor Okey Enelamah, who was his Deputy and later successor at the RCCG, Banana Island, Lagos. Pastor Enelamah’s appointment came as a shock to Nigerians because apart from the fact that he was Pastor Osinbajo’s successor at the Redeemed Church, he neither worked for President Buhari’s victory nor believed in staking for the success of the Nigerian Project.”
“Most importantly, Pastor Osinbajo had pushed for the appointment of Pastor Enelamah as Minister of Finance against his benefactor Bola Tinubu’s choice of Wale Edun. While Nigerians were trying to come to terms with the shock of Pastor Enelamah’s nomination, Osinbajo took a step further in his nepotistic disposition in the setting up of his office and selection of personal staff.”
“First, he chose his former colleague at the University of Lagos Ade Ipaye who was also his Special Adviser while he was Attorney General of Lagos to serve as his Chief of Staff. Unsurprisingly, Ade Ipaye hails from Ogun State, Osinbajo’s State of origin. He went on to relocate Laolu Akande, an indigene of Ogun State who was hibernating in New York to serve as his Media Adviser. For his Chief Economic Adviser, he appointed Ambassador Dipeolu also of Yoruba extraction. He didn’t stop there, of his 10 Principal Officers in his office, 9 are from his Yoruba ethnic group! For a man who was elected to represent the interest of the entire Country, this is embarrassingly tragic indeed.”
“It is on record that as vice president, Atiku Abubakar had a plethora of southerners in his office: Chris Mamah, Onukaba Adinoyi Ojo, Tokunbo Adeola, Dr. Azuh Ndukwe, Phil Agbaso, Dr. Isu, etc. He did not concentrate appointments in his native North East.”
“While Osinbajo was plotting as to how to corner power for his Yoruba brethren and RCCG members, he immediately at the onset of administration instructed major agencies of government to patronize – his law firm, SimmonsCoopers Partners. The firm had a field day in the Ministry of Justice, NNPC Group, DPR, Ministry of Works, and virtually all the Parastatals in the Ministry of Trade and Investment. Curiously, the Managing Partner of SimmonsCooper, Tunde Irekera, was recently appointed the Director General of the Consumer Protection Council.”
“It is instructive to note that Tunde Irekera was the immediate past DG of the CPCs trusted adviser and his law firm, SimmonsCooper Partners handled all the legal work in the agency. This, however, didn’t deter Osinbajo from installing his stooge in the Agency.”

“More curious is the fact that while Pastor Enelamah implemented a major shakeup in the agencies under his watch, he spared the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council, Segun Awolowo who is a brother in law to Osinbajo.”
“In their quest to colonize the Ministry of Trade and Investment, Osinbajo appointed another of his stooge, Yewande Sadiku, of
