The Senate president, Bukola Saraki, and his House of Representatives counterpart, Yakubu Dogara alongside other principal officers of the National Assembly on Thursday terminated a visit to President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso Villa, Abuja.
TheNewsGuru.com gathered from a source very close to the leadership of NASS, that the said invitation by the presidency was shunned as a result of the ill-treatment meted on the lawmakers by Buhari’s men on their arrival at Aso Villa.
They [lawmakers] were at the villa to meet with Buhari over the 2018 appropriation bill.
“They went to Villa on invitation in a bus and they were told by Buhari’s security details that some of the senators are to get down to walk, while only the Senate President and and Speaker were allowed to stay in their cars; the senate President declined and turned back”
As at the time TheNewsGuru.com filed this report, all the lawmakers were reportedly at Saraki’s residence. They have been receiving calls from the Presidency to return.
