The weekly Federal Executive Council meeting was suspended because
some Muslim cabinet members have travelled to their home states for
the Eid-el-Fitri.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr.
Reuben Abati, disclosed this to State House correspondents on
Wednesday in Abuja.
According to Abati, some other council members are also taking part in
the lesser Hajj in Saudi Arabia.
He said it is part of the cabinet members’ constitutional rights to
carry out their religious obligations.
The meeting, which holds on Wednesdays, is normally presided over by
the President or the Vice- President.
