VP Osinbajo

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo presided over the Federal Executive Council meeting, today, Wednesday, September 29, 2021, even as President Muhammadu Buhari has not made a public appearance since his aides announced his departure from New York, where he had attended the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, according to The Punch report.

Buhari, according to the News Agency of Nigeria, returned on September 26, 2021 but no photographs of the President arriving at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport were posted on social media by his media handlers, as has been the norm.

Rather, his last public photograph was posted by social media aide, Buhari Sallau, via his Facebook page on Saturday, September 25, announcing the President’s departure “for Abuja.”

There has been no statement from the Presidency regarding the retired General’s return to the country, except for a report by the government-owned News Agency of Nigeria titled, ‘UNGA-76: Buhari returns with special assignment from World body.’

Meanwhile, his aides have continued to post congratulatory messages, birthday wishes and the activities of members of his cabinet, including those of the Federal Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola; and vice-president Osinbajo, among others, The Punch report concluded
