Lawal made the disclosure at the Federal Executive Council meeting today.

He also revealed that three of Buhari’s ministers are also very ill. The ministers are Aisha Alhassan, Minister of Women Affairs, Adamu Adamu, Minister of Education and Ibrahim Jibril, Minister of State for Environment.

The SGF said Alhassan, popularly called “Mama Taraba” had been down and had to undergo a surgery in the United States.
