| FEC Meeting |
The weekly meeting of the Federal Executive
Council failed to hold on Wednesday despite Vice President Namadi Sambo being
in Abuja.
President Goodluck Jonathan had departed for the United Kingdom and France early
in the morning on working visits that would keep him out of the country until.
February the 11th.
No reasons were given for the failure to hold the
cabinet meeting although insider sources said most issues that required
attention had been treated in last week's council meeting which stretched late into
the evening.
It gave rise to speculations about the reluctance
of the President to hold a council meeting until he had tinkered with the
cabinet.
The speculations were fueled on Tuesday by the designation of port folios to
the two new additions to the Federal Executive Council which saw Professor
Chinedu Nebo emerging as the new Minister of Power and Kabiru Turaki assigned
to the Ministry of Special duties.
It leaves the position of the Defence Minister
glaringly open and reinforces the belief that the President will do a cabinet
reshuffle anytime now.
