Buhari In Closed-door Meeting With Saraki, Dogara

President Muhammadu Buhari is currently meeting with both the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Dogara arrived for the meeting at noon and already meeting with the president.

At about 12.30pm, Saraki also arrived the Presidential Villa for his meeting with Buhari.

The details of the meetings are still unavailable.

The meeting is coming on the heels of apparent Executive/Legislative rift following the refusal of the Nigerian Senate to consider and approve the list of 27 Resident Electoral Commissioners, REC.

The Senate said it is stepping down the confirmation hearings in protest against the continued retention of Ibrahim Magu as acting chairman of the EFCC by President Buhari in spite of the lawmakers’ refusal to confirm him twice.
