The weekly Federal Executive Council meeting will not hold today.
It was cancelled yesterday by the president as a mark of respect for
Vice President Namadi Sambo’s late brother, Yusuf.
Yusuf died in a road accident in Abuja on Sunday.
In a statement by Sam Nwaobasi, who is Special Assistant (Media) to the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim, the President
said the cancellation is to allow Council members attend the three-day prayer
for the deceased holding in Abuja today.
It reads: “His Excellency, Goodluck Ebere Jonathan, GCFR, President of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has directed that the Federal Executive
Council (FEC) will not meet tomorrow, 30th April, 2014, to enable Council
members attend the three day prayer for the late Captain Yusuf Sabo Sambo, the
younger brother of the Vice President.”

ReplyDeleteLate Capt. Sambo is a professional colleague, with all due respect the Federal Govt has once again goofed. School children were massacred a night before the centenary celebration and there was nothing in their honour, is a Shame my people.
