If not for #OsinbajoTheFixer I won’t have known that by constitution the VP is to chair some committee and councils like NEC, NEMA, NBC, BCDA, DMO and lots more. I didn’t get to know this information earlier because there has never been any active VP like #OsinbajoTheFixer pic.twitter.com/SkEWi7LzxL
