Federal Government explains President Buhari’s absence at Federal Executive Council
The Federal Government says
President Muhammadu Buhari deliberately assigned Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo
to preside over the Federal Executive Council in order to attend to other official
matters.
The Minister of Information
and Culture, Lai Mohammed, told newsmen after the weekly council meeting in Abuja
that the clarification became necessary after speculations on the President’s
health in the media following his absence.
He said the president’s
absence at the meeting was not something abnormal or unusual.
According to the minister, “Mr
President is in town; Mr President is attending to other issues; Mr President
looked at the agenda, it was a very light agenda, and said that the
Vice-President should preside.
“It is not unusual for the
kind of interest that had been shown, especially giving the fact that Mr
President was away for a while on medical treatment.
“We are not surprised that
the people are wondering whether Mr President ill again; he is not ill; he is
not sick and I’m sure that later in the day or tomorrow morning, he will back
in the office.
“It is not unusual even if
the President is hale and hearty and everything is going well, for the VP to
come and preside over the meeting of the Federal Executive Council,’’ he added.
So we can't get a picture of the said official Assignment he went for. When do this stop. Can He just resign honourably and take care of his health issues. Must we be fed lies after believing so much in him for a proposed change.
