President Muhammadu Buhari is currently meeting with a 10-man delegation from the Senate to discuss an alleged plot by the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris to implicate the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, in a criminal case.
DAILY POST recalls that Saraki had raised the alarm on the floor of the Senate over a purported plot by the IGP to implicate him using ‘coerced’ cultists.
Members of the delegation were led to the meeting that held behind closed doors inside the President’s office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, by the Senate Leader, Ahmad Lawan.
Other members of the team were the Chief Whip, Olusola Adeyeye; Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio; Danjuma Goje; Sam Anyanwu; Aliyu Wammako; Fatima Raji-Rasaki; and Oluremi Tinubu.
At the end of the meeting, Senator Abdullahi Adamu spoke with State House correspondents in Hausa.
Adamu explained that the meeting was necessitated by the allegation Saraki made against the IG on the floor of the Senate.
According to him, it was important to brief the President and hear from him because of the frosty relationship that has been existing between the two arms of governments.
Adamu said, “What brought about the need to meet with the President came about in the Senate last week.
“The Senate President made some comments to the effect that he received a call from his governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, that some persons suspected to be cultists who are undergoing investigation in Ilorin, Kwara State, will be transferred to Abuja and it is becoming a problem that is why the governor intimated him.
“That is why it was decided that we should come, as leaders in the Assembly to hear what is going on and if anything can be done about it.”
The Personal Assistant to the President on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, posted the video of the meeting on his Twitter page.
