Presidency Blames Easter Holiday For Not Holding FEC

The presidency has blamed the Easter holidays for its failure to hold the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC),  on Wednesday, as usual at the Presidential Villa. This was a defense to the rumors of President Buhari’s ill health.

Although President Buhari was absent at last Wednesday’s meeting leaving ‎Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to preside over it.

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, had said  Buhari ‎was attending to other issues of national importance and not because of ill-health that he failed to show up.

When reached for comments, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, explained that it was canceled because the council secretariat staff had no opportunity to circulate relevant documents for the meeting because of the Easter holiday.

“I think it is because of the Easter holiday. The secretariat had no time to circulate the necessary documents,” he said.
