President Muhammadu Buhari’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) is being briefed by Professor Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, was also scheduled to brief Council, but he wasn’t present when it started at 9:58 a.m.
A moment of silence was observed in memory of Air Commodore Dan Suleiman (retired), a former Minister of Special Duties under General Yakubu Gowon, before Yakubu briefed the Council members.
He was a member of General Murtala Muhammed’s Supreme Military Council in Nigeria between July 1975 and March 1976, and was military Governor of Plateau from March 1976 to July 1978 after it had been created from part of the old Benue Plateau State.
