In a similar situation today, the Presidency explained why the FEC meeting was not held by the President.
According to the Senior Special Assistant to Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the council secretariat did not have enough time to prepare and circulate memos to ministers due to the Easter break.
“The staff on the Council secretariat resumed on Tuesday after the Easter. There was no time to prepare and circulate memos to ministers.
“By practice, the ministers receive council memos two or three days ahead of meetings because they must read them and sometimes undertake research.
“It is not a rubber stamp council so everyone must prepare themselves well for debates.” Garba Shehu said.
