Reports: Buhari Resumes Work, Receives Briefs as Osinbajo’s Panel Likely to Submit Reports Today

A day after some em­inent Nigerians and human rights ac­tivists asked President Mu­hammadu Buhari to step aside and attend to his health challenges, the Nigerian lead­er resumed work on Tuesday in Aso Villa, Abuja.

The President’s resumption of duty was announced by the Attorney-General of the Fed­eration and Minister of Jus­tice, Malam Abubakar Mala­mi (SAN) and the Managing Director of the Nigerian Na­tional Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mr. Maikanti Baru.

They spoke with State House correspondents after their separate meeting with Buhari.

Baring any last minute eventuality, the Presidential committee investigating suspended Secretary to the Government of the General of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal and the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, NIA, Ayo Oke would submit its report tomorrow. The Minister of Justice and Attorny-General of the Federation, AGF, Abubkar Malami who is a member of the panel headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo dropped the hints on Tuesday while speaking to State House correspondents after a private meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa, Abuja.

He however refused to speak on whether the committee would yield to the calls of not making the report public, saying “it will be preemptive”, as the committee’s 14 days life span is yet to elapse. Similarly, the president also met with the Group Managing Director, GMD of the Nigerian National Petroleum Cooperation, NNPC, Maikanti Baru.
