Punch published that The Peoples Democratic Party and Civil Liberties Organisation have criticised President Muhammdu Buhari’s decision to perform his official roles from home.
Buhari was absent from a meeting of the Federal Executive Council inside the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Wednesday.
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo presided over the meeting. Buhari did not also attend the FEC meeting last week, with the Presidency attributing his absence to the Easter holiday.
Following the President’s absence from Wednesday’s meeting, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said Buhari was working from home.
In a statement, Mohammed said the President only decided to work from home on Wednesday, not that he had decided to work from home henceforth.
The minister said, “He (the President) wanted to rest today and he asked the VP to preside over today’s meeting.
“In addition, he also asked that all his files be taken home to him and he will be working from home today.’’
But the PDP kicked against the development, urging the Presidency to reveal Buhari’s health status.
Spokesman for the party’s National Caretaker Committee, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, stated the party’s position in an interview with our one of our correspondents in Abuja on Wednesday.
Adeyeye said it was obvious that Mohammed did not know what to tell Nigerians following the third consecutive absence of the President from the weekly FEC meeting.
