It is still under debate that President Buhari rumoured to be ill will be present at the weekly FEC meeting to preside over it.
President Muhammadu Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to preside over the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting today Wednesday.
This
has, however, generated mixed reactions among Nigerians. While some say
he would attend, others stated that the presidency will, as usual, give
excused to Nigerians if Buhari fails to show up.
The president has failed to attend FEC meetings for three consecutive weeks, fuelling speculation about his health.
However, he resumed at his desk on Tuesday and took briefs from Abubakar Malami, Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), and Maikanti Baru, Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
FEC,
which is made up of the president, vice-president and all Ministers, is
the highest decision making organ of the government.
Meanwhile, one social media user @PaulUtho is trending for tweeting that “If@MBuhari
attends the FEC meeting tomorrow in the Council Chamber at the State
House, l’ll give out 25k to 5people who RT this.”

Buhari will be “arranged” to attend the FEC meeting and address council
members for some minutes…after which he will leave and the VP will
continue presiding over the meeting. This is to douse tension in the
polity

Sterling Bank sacked 290, MTN sacked 280, Buhari didn’t attend FEC

As Buhari resumes work,I hope he presides over FEC meeting today,
failure which will create more suspicion. I wish him full recovery.
