President Bola Tinubu has rescheduled this week’s Federal Executive Council meeting to an undisclosed date as the ongoing #EndBadGovernace protest continues nationwide.
Naija News learnt that some ministers were seen at the Council Chamber at the scheduled time, but President Tinubu, his Vice President Kashim Shettima, his Chief of Staff, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, did not show up.
A minister who spoke with Punch confirmed that the meeting had been shifted but declined to explain the reason for the postponement.
The minister said, “It is no longer holding today. But you know, the council meets on Mondays only when there are issues to discuss.”
Presidency source also confirmed the rescheduling of the FEC meeting, stating that a memo was disseminated on Sunday night, but some ministers did not receive the postponement notice on time.
“The ministers were not even supposed to come here because the meeting has been postponed. But it appears they got the notice very late.
“The meeting itself was impromptu because the notice came out last night.”
The source added that Tinubu is scheduled to meet with Service Chiefs at 2:00 pm to discuss the nationwide protests, among other matters.
“Yes, FEC was postponed, but there will be a security meeting at 2:00 pm.”
