Minister of Information and
Culture, Alhaji Lai has claimed that Nigerians are missing President Muhammadu
Buhari.
Buhari had in May jetted out to
London, United Kingdom for medicals.
Mohammed noted that, though his
absence was greatly missed, the country was running smoothly with the efforts
of the Acting President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo.
Speaking with newsmen recently,
the minister said the presidency was not thinking of substituting the ailing
president as being agitated in some quarters.
He said, “There is no doubt that we miss the president but I think government has been functioning very well. There can’t be a substitute for the president no doubt but I don’t think it has gotten to any stage whereby we find the kind of acrimony, agitations that is coming up.
“It is normal for anybody to be ill. When somebody is ill, there are certain things he cannot do but we thank God that Mr. President is improving and he will come back very soon. The important thing is that government has been working. We have not missed one single Federal Executive Council meeting since he left.
“Also, we have not missed one single National Economic Council meeting. Whatever needs to be done is being done because there are serious consultations between the Acting president and Mr. President and as such, I don’t see the hoopla about Mr. President being away.”Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
