President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday presided over Federal Executive Council (FEC) with Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and cabinet ministers in attendance.

The meeting held at the Presidential Council Chamber, started at exactly 11:00 am.

The weekly meeting did not hold last Wednesday.

NAN observed that the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Mrs Aisha Alhassan, attracted the attention of the photo journalists in the chamber.

The action of the journalists might not be unconnected with the minister’s recent remarks on 2019 presidential election.

Alhassan, was on September 7, alleged to have submitted her resignation letter to the office of the Chief of Staff to the President following her remarks about the presidential ambition of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.

The minister was later quoted in an interview with State House correspondents as saying that she would rather resign as minister than abandon Atiku “if he decides to run for presidential elections in 2019’’
