PDP says cabal running Nigeria as Buhari misses FEC meeting again

The National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party has alleged that a cabal is now ruling Nigeria.

The party said the health challenge of President Muhammadu Buhari has shown that some individuals have taken over the running of the government from the ailing President.

The reaction of the committee followed the inability of Buhari to attend the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting for the third consecutive week.

The former ruling party submitted that there is nothing unusual in the President being sick, but that what was bad was the refusal of the President to disclose the true state of his health.

The PDP argued that the health of the President must be bad to have prevented him from attending the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting consecutively for three weeks.

Spokesperson for the Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led caretaker committee, Dayo Adeyeye, stated this in an interview with Punch correspondents on Wednesday.

Adeyeye, a former Minister of State for Works, said the health of the President and the attitude of his handlers had shown that the country “is now on auto pilot.”
