THE Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari and the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Winifred Oyo-Ita on Wednesday mended fences.

The duo had hugged while greeting each other just before the arrival of President Muhammadu Buhari and commencement of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.

When Oyo-Ita arrived at the Council chamber before Kyari, she had also approached Vice President Yemi Osinbajo smiling as she greeted him.

It was reported last Wednesday that hot argument ensued between Oyo-Ita and Kyari at FEC in the presence of Osinbajo before the commencement of last week meeting.

It was suspected that the argument had to do with accusation and counter-accusation over who leaked Oyo-Ita’s report to the President on the reinstatement of the former chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, Abdulrasheed Maina.

The video of their encounter had hit the social media last Wednesday.

The newly appointed Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha was absent at FEC on Wednesday.

It was gathered that Mustapha traveled out of Abuja.

The immediate acting SGF, Dr. Habiba Lawal, stood in for him.      –   The Nation
