Some rare occasions see both the President of a country and the deputy have to be out of the nation at the same time.
Such is the case with Nigeria at the moment as both President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo are at the moment, both out of the country.
It was reported that President Buhari is in New York, USA to participate in the 77th United Nations general assembly (UNGA) while Osinbajo is representing Nigeria at the burial ceremony of Queen Elizabeth II in the United Kingdom.
Who Is In Charge Of Nigeria?
With Nigeria’s number one and two citizens out of the country, some people have raised questions about who is piloting the country’s affairs.
It is understood that the ability of the President or the Vice President to discharge their constitutional duties is not affected by their geographical location.
