Nigeria President Buhari cancels cabinet meeting
Nigeria's weekly cabinet meeting - the first that President
Muhammadu Buhari was due to attend since returning from a three months
medical leave in the UK - has been cancelled, his special adviser Femi
Adesina has said in a statement.
He did not give any reasons for
the decision, but Mr Buhari, 74, has been working from home since he
returned to Nigeria on Saturday.
Government spokesman Garba Shehu
said his office required renovation because rats damaged the furniture
and air conditioning in his absence.
Mr Adesina said Mr Buhari
would receive a report from a panel which investigated allegations of
corruption against two suspended officials - National Intelligence Agency
chief Ayo Oke and government secretary Babachir Lawal, Mr Adesina said.
The panel is headed by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, who was acting president president in Mr Buhari's absence.
Some Nigerians had called for him to resign during his prolonged absence, saying he was unfit to run the country.
He has never said what is wrong with him.
