Spokesman Laolu Akande, announced Osinbajo’s arrival in a tweet this morning. He said the acting President will be presiding over a Federal Executive Council meeting at 11am today.

On whether the President will return within 90 days from May 7th, he said: “No no. Deadlines aren’t a very good thing but as I said he is recuperating fast we expecting him very shortly. Much sooner than you will expect.
Asked if the meeting dwell on the report of the suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir David Lawal, and National Intelligence Agency (NIA) Director General, Ayo Oke, he simply said that the meeting covered wide ranging issues.
“I really can’t go into specifics of all of the discussions we had.” he added
He also said that the meeting didn’t discuss swearing in of the two ministerial nominees.
On when they will be sworn in, he said: “Well, I’m not in a position to say anything. I don’t have a date in mind but I’m sure very very soon we will do that.”
