Some Nigerians were already speculating that President Buhari might be seriously ill, hence his absence from the meeting.
However speaking with state house correspondents after the FEC meeting chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Lai Mohammed said President Buhari is not sick. He said President Buhari is hail and healthy and was carrying out other state functions during the FEC meeting. Lai added that it isn't compulsory for President Buhari to attend every Federal Executive Council meeting.
President Buhari is currently absent at the Federal Executive
Council meeting holding at the state house Abuja. Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo is presiding over the meeting. This will be the first time
President Buhari will be absent at the meeting since his return from his
medical trip to the UK.
LIB reached out to
President Buhari's Personal Assistant on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, to
know why the president wasn't at the meeting and he said Buhari is very well but decided to allow Osinbajo preside
over the meeting. No official statement from the presidency yet.
