Buhari misses Federal Executive council (FEC) meeting

   Why Buhari was not at FEC, by Fed Govt.

   THE Federal Government yesterday explained why Vice President Yemi Osinbajo presided over the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the State House.

    It said President Muhammadu Buhari’s absence at the meeting had nothing to do with ill health, urging Nigerians to disregard any report suggesting that the President was ill.

    The Information, Culture and Tourism Minister, Lai Mohammed, who refuted the President’s ‘ill’ reports, State House reporters that the President was hale, hearty and attending to other state matters.
  With him was the Minister of State for Health, Osagie Ehinare and Minister of State for the Environment, Ibrahim Jubril.

   Mohammed said Buhari’s absence at the FEC did not mean the President was not at work.
He said: “I want to make some remarks on what I think is trending. Clearly when you came in this morning, Mr. President was not in the chamber and the Vice President did preside over the council meeting.

“Understandably, that has sparked controversies and agitations.
