Press Release.
By Segun Adeyemi, SA to Hon Minister of Information and Culture
The President Working From Home Only Today – Minister.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has corrected the erroneous reporting, in a section of the media, of his post-FEC press briefing on Wednesday (26April), noting he never said the President is to work from home henceforth.
In a statement issued in Abuja, the Minister said the President only decided to work from home today, not that he has decided to work from home henceforth.
He said the headlines in a section of the media, ”Buhari to now work from home – Lai Mohammed,” is a misrepresentation of his statement at the briefing.
Quoting verbatim the relevant section of his briefing, Alhaji Mohammed said: ”He (the President) wanted to rest TODAY and he asked the VP to preside over TODAY’S meeting. In addition, he also asked that all his files be taken home to him and he will be working from home TODAY.”
