Reps Speaker Meets With Buhari Over Embattled Senate President



President Muhammadu Buhari and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, met on late Monday night.

Issues raised includes the ongoing prosecution of the Senate President,Bukola Saraki, for alleged false asset declaration, Punch reports.

Dogara had reportedly “secured a booking” to meet with Buhari at the Aso Rock Villa.

A senior official of the House told The Punch that the meeting was not an open affair and that nobody could gauge the mood of the President.


The official said, “I am aware that he (speaker) secured a booking to see the President this night. But, this will not be an open meeting just yet. I think he wants to first see Mr. President and inform him about the resolution of the House.

“The President’s mood will determine whether he will go on to mediate in the matter to find a political solution as advised by the House.”
