President Buhari
FOR the third week, President Muhammadu Buhari has failed to show up at the regular meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) taking place inside the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The meeting, moved from 10am to 11am on Wednesday, set off without him showing up at the venue with the lot falling on Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to once again preside for the third time in a row.
FEC meeting was canceled last week ostensibly because of the inability of the president to participate but the presidency blamed it on Easter holiday which it said prevented necessary memos from being circulated for the meeting.
On Wednesday, there were initially some indications that he would attend but things soon changed as the State Chief of Protocol (SCOP), came into the hall and whispered something into the ears of Osinbajo who had been waiting for the arrival of the president along with 18 ministers.
The Vice President thereafter called the meeting to order and requested for the opening prayer.
President Buhari had drastically scaled down his official activities since returning from the United Kingdom after obtaining treatment for an undisclosed ailment for nearly two months.
