With 16 days to go before the presidential election, the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu, on Wednesday, briefed the Federal Executive Council, presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Inspector General of Police, Alkali Baba, who was expected at the briefing, was not in council when the meeting commenced at 9:58 am.
Before Yakubu briefed council members, a minute silence was observed in honour of Air Commodore Dan Suleiman (retd), former minister of special duties under General Yakubu Gowon.
Suleiman was a member of General Murtala Muhammed’s supreme military council in Nigeria between July 1975 and March 1976, and was military governor of Plateau State from March 1976 to July 1978 after it had been created from part of the old Benue Plateau State.
