“It’s Fake News, FEC Not Dissolved, Ministers Still On Duty Posts” –  Lai Mohammed

By Ayodele Oni

Cabinet Ministers are to remain on their duty posts despite the valedictory Federal Executive Council, (FEC) meeting presided over by President Mohammadu Buhari on Wednesday.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has disclosed this to State House Correspondents at the end of the valedictory council meeting.

He described the report of the dissolution of FEC by  Buhari as fake news.

The Minister said President Buhari directed all Ministers to return to their desks and continue working on their transition assignments.

“I just want to make this clarification. While we were at the chambers there was a false breaking news that the Federal Executive Council has been dissolved. That is not correct.

“As a matter of fact, we have been directed by the President that we should all go back and return to our offices. So it is not true that the Federal Executive Council has been dissolved, it’s is still very much alive.

“We have all been directed to go back to our offices and ensure that we continue to work right to the end of 29 of May. So please ignore the fake news.”
