Some members of the Federal Executive Council are said to be jittery over the return of President Muhammad Buhari to the country. This comes amid speculation Buhari’s cabinet may be due for a shake up.

Those who were not in Abuja when the President returned hurriedly made their way to the nation’s capital as they learned of the arrival of the President, sources disclosed to The Nation.

According to the Nation, The cabinet members were actually not notified of the President’s return. If they had prior knowledge, they would have been around to welcome him.

“In fact, only Minister of FCT Mohammed Bello was on the list of those to receive the President in his capacity as the ‘governor’ of the territory.

“Some other ministers merely heard the announcement and decided to proceed to the airport in line with official norms.

“Those who were out of Abuja on assignment in some states hurriedly came back to welcome the President.

“ These ministers are worried about Buhari’s plans for them.”

“The goodwill for the president was tremendous. This was why he avoided being airlifted in a chopper that was waiting to convey him to the Presidential Villa.

“The presidential helicopter was at the airport but the President opted to go to the Villa by road.

“No one expected the massive turnout which pointed to the fact that he is still rated highly by many Nigerians.”
