National Security Adviser, Retired Major-General, Mohammed Babagana Monguno on Wednesday resurfaced at the Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja.
Monguno had set off concerns about his status in the administration after he was absent at last week’s FEC meeting and also the meeting on Monday between President Buhari and Service chiefs.
Speculations that his absence may be a fallout over his leaked memo that the President’s Chief of Staff, Malam Abba Kyari, was meddling in his duties, by holding meetings with security chiefs and giving them instructions.
But the speculations were later put to dismissed by the presidency, attributing his absence to his attendance of a Security Conference in Munich Germany. The conference held 14-16 February.
On Wednesday, photographs showed him bantering with Abba Kyari at the Council meeting, where the members of the National Assembly Commission were also sworn in by Buhari. One photo also showed the two men from Borno state shaking hands.
