President Muhammadu Buhari has agreed to comply with the resolution of the House of Representatives summoning him to appear before it to explain why insecurity is threatening the country to its very fabric and what he’s doing about it.
This was made known by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila while answering questions from journalists after leading a delegation to a meeting with the president.
According to him, the group was in the State House to convey to Buhari the resolution summoning him to appear before it.
The speaker also added that they eventually reached an agreement with the president on the date he would appear before them, but declined to make the date known, promising instead that it would be communicated to journalists later.
Explaining why the President was notorious for snubbing summons, particularly those of the immediate past National Assembly, the spokesman of the House, Hon. Benjamin Kalu said it because the leadership were at war with him.
“It is because they were at war with him. Do you know what it means to hold someone’s budget for six months, and you are inviting the same man to come for consultation?” he told newsmen earlier before the delegation met with President Buhari.
