SaharaRepolearnedlearnt that all ministers and cabinet level officials of the government had gathered in Abuja for the meeting when they were told the meeting had been canceled. Since returning from a prolonged medical vacation in the UK, the president has been working from home. His aides have claimed that his decision to work from home was due to rodent infestation of his main office within the Presidential Villa a claim SaharaReporters found to be false.
