By Dipo Olowookere

President Muhammadu Buhari was on Wednesday absent at the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Though the meeting took place today despite the absence of the President, it was the Vice President, Mr Yemi Osinbajo, who presided over it.

Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, while briefing journalists after the meeting, explained that the President was not at the meeting as expected because he was at home still resting.

According to him, the President requested to have the rest and directed the Vice President to preside over the meeting today.

He added that Mr Buhari requested to be briefed of outcome of the meeting.

Last Wednesday, the meeting did not hold due to the Easter break.

However, this is the second time in a row the President has not attended the FEC meeting, causing anxiety among some Nigerians.
