Friend or foe? Alhassan attends FEC meeting with Buhari presiding
President Muhammadu Buhari is currently presiding over the Wednesday weekly Federal Executive Council meeting at the Presidential Villa Abuja.
President Buhari arrived at the Council Chambers at about 11:00am to join many of the FEC members who were already seated including the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Aisha Alhassan, known popularly as Mama Taraba.
The meeting is the first since Alhassan openly declared she will support former-Vice President Atiku Abubakar for 2019 presidency even if Buhari decides to run for a second term in office.
Mama Taraba arrived at the Presidential Villa by 10:45 a.m.
