The Information Minister, Lai Mohammed, said that President Muhamamdu Buhari, could not attend the Federal Executive Council Meeting, FEC, because he needed more rest.
Briefing State House Correspondents at the end of the meeting that lasted only for two hours, the Minister disclosed that the President has requested that all the files on his table be brought to him, saying he would be working from home.
He said: “We just concluded the Federal Executive Council meeting, I’m sure you noticed that the President was not there. He was not there, because he asked that he be allowed to rest, and asked the VP to preside.
The Minister also repeated the same when Journalists sought more clarification, he insisted: “He was not in that meeting, because the President sent word that he wanted to rest and he wanted the VP to preside over, and he asked for all his files to be brought back to him, that he will be working from the house.”“And he will be working from home. He has asked that all his files to be taken to him in the house. He will be working from home today.”
When asked that there was an air of surprise back in the hall when the Vice President called for the recitation of the national anthem, Mohammed said: “that’s your own opinion.”
Also asked whether the government would formally apologize to The Punch Newspaper over the “sack” of its State House Correspondent, Mr. Olalekan Adetayo, from the Presidential Villa, as demanded by the organization, the Minister said that the steps already taken by the Presidential Media Aides, should suffice.
“I think we should not blow a matter out of proportion. The Special Adviser to the President on Media, Mr. Adesina, immediately took a step that reversed that. I think that is proof enough that this government is not about stifling the Press.
“You forget it is the same administration that restored the pass of Dutchewalle Reporter. I am happy with what the Media Aides have done. I think that settles it”, he said.
