President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed strong concerns about family members having undue access to the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting. According to a report by Vanguard, he made these remarks before the commencement of the last FEC meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Monday. He stated, “Last week, I noticed people sneaking in and out of this council. People had access to this place when they should not have. I saw the photograph of my son, Seyi, sitting behind… that is not acceptable.”
The President went on to clarify who is allowed to attend the council meeting, emphasizing, “Unless I sent for you, don’t come.” He also directed the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, and the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Folashade Yemi-Esan, to ensure his directive is enforced. He added, “Unless they are your staff that are included, no one should have access to the FEC meeting, except I have announced their names to you.”
