President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday cancelled the weekly meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC), the first since he returned from his over 100 days absence from his seat on medical tourism in the United Kingdom.
The abrupt cancellation of the meeting was made public by Buhari’s media adviser, Femi Adesina.
Adesina, in a statement, said his principal would rather receive the report of the investigation committee into the allegations against the suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, and the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ayodele Oke.
The committee was headed by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and the report was submitted to the president in his office at noon today.
Buhari returned to Nigeria on Saturday after spending 103 days in London for medical treatment.
The president had constituted the panel to investigate the corruption allegation levelled against the suspended SGF by the Nigerian Senate and that against Oke by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
He was to receive the report on May 8 but his health condition deteriorated, forcing him to return to London on May 7.
