Nigerians Attack Lai Mohammed after Saying Buhari Will Work From Home (Pics)

For the third time in three weeks, President Muhammadu Buhari was missing at the meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) which held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Wednesday, April 26.

Disclosing why the president was absent at the meeting, the minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed said he needed some rest.

According to him, Buhari will henceforth stop going to the office and will be working from his official residence at the presidential villa.

President Buhari failed to attend the weekly FEC meeting on Wednesday, April 26

He also said the president asked that all the files on his table be brought to him at his official residence at the presidential villa, Abuja for treatment.

Nigerians are not very happy with this new arrangement and have taken to Twitter to throw shades at Mohammed.

Someone described the minister as a natural disaster while some are calling on Buhari to resign and take care of his health.

We gathered some of the reactions.

Buhari had first stayed away from the meeting a fortnight ago without prior notice. Last week, the FEC meeting was completely cancelled.

This quickly generated concerns about his state of health but Mohammed, said it was nothing to worry about.

On Monday, April 24, Olalekan Adetayo, state house correspondent of The Punch was expelled from his beat for writing about the president’s health. Bashir Abubakar, chief security officer (CSO) to Buhari, ordered him out of the villa for writing stories said to be uncomplimentary of the Buhari administration.
