The weekly Federal Executive
Council, FEC, meeting has again been cancelled as President Muhammadu Buhari
takes his re-election campaign to Ebonyi and Cross River states.
This is the second time that the
meeting would be cancelled in two weeks consecutively as the president and Vice
President, Yemi Osinbajo intensified their re-election campaign.
By default, in the absence of the
president, the vice president presides over the FEC meeting where critical
national issues are discussed and projects are approved.
Recall that last week, the
President was in Sokoto and Kebbi states for his campaigns, while the vice president
was busy with his house to house campaign, thus the meeting could not hold.
Meanwhile, the Special Adviser to
the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has defended the
president’s decision not to summon his cabinet for the weekly FEC parley.
According to him, there was no
rule that says FEC meeting must hold every week.
“During President Umaru Musa
Yar’Adau, the meeting was held bi-weekly,” he reminded State House
correspondents, on Wednesday.
