Ministers at the FEC meeting

 

President Muhammadu Buhari was on Wednesday conspicuously missing at the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting which iscurrently being presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

 

According to DailyTrust, the cabinet had awaited the president's arrival until the State House Chief of Protocols suddenly stepped in at 11.00am and whispered to Osinbajo.

 

It was gathered that a security officer had also stood anxiously behind the president's official seat in expectation of Buhari's attendance.

 

The Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa are scanty as only about 20 ministers were seated as of the time journalists were leaving.

 

Osinbajo kick-started the meeting with a call for the recitation of the national anthem as well as prayers by the Ministers of Education and Health, Adamu Adamu and Isaac Adewole respectively.

 

Immediately the meeting commenced, ministers were sighted curiously whispering.

 

Recall that a fortnight ago, Buhari was also absent at the weekly council meeting which also did not last week with the Presidency citing the Easter break, but many Nigerians are of the opinion that the president's health status was the reason behind his missing in meetings.
