It was a moment of surprise for ministers as President Muhammadu Buhari was absent at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting today, Wednesday, April 12, 2017.

NAIJAFINIX.com reports that this is the first time Buhari would be absent from the FEC meeting since March 10 when the president returned from London where he spent weeks on medical vacation.

In his absence, the vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo took charge calling on the minister of Defense, Dan Ali Mansur, to say the Muslim opening prayer, while the Christian prayer was said by the minister of Trade and Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah.

Multiple reports confirmed the president’s absence from the meeting and that the reason was yet to be revealed as there was no official statement.
