JUST IN: FEC Meeting Postponed By Tinubu In Honour Of Buhari
The special Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting convened to honour former President Muhammadu Buhari has been postponed.
The emergency session, which was summoned by President Bola Tinubu, was originally scheduled for Tuesday.
The postponement became necessary due to a clash with the state funeral for Buhari, slated to hold the same day in Daura, Katsina state.
Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on media and strategy, confirmed that the remains of the former president will arrive in Nigeria tomorrow afternoon.
“In addition, the federal government has declared Tuesday, July 15, a public holiday in honour of the departed Nigerian leader,” he said in a statement on Monday.
“The office of the Secretary to the Federal Government will announce a new date after the funeral proceedings.
“President Tinubu called for the special FEC session to honour his predecessor for his significant contributions to our country.
“The remains of the former Nigerian leader will arrive from London tomorrow by noon, after which he will be committed to Mother Earth in accordance with Islamic rites in his home town.”
Buhari passed away on Sunday in a London clinic after a prolonged illness.
Vice-President Kashim Shettima and Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila subsequently travelled to the UK on the president’s directive to accompany Buhari’s remains back to Nigeria.
