Saraki, Dogara meet Buhari behind closed doors

President Muhammadu Buhari, Senator Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara laughs to a joke

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday held a meeting with Senate President Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara.

The meeting is holding inside the president’s office at the Aso Rock presidential villa.

The two leaders of the legislature arrived the president’s office at exactly 12 midday.

The meeting is still ongoing as at the time of filing this report.

It would be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari resumed work on 13 March 2017 after spending 51 days in London on a medical vacation.

While there, Saraki and Dogara paid him a visit and stated that President Buhari was in good health.

On Monday, he was briefed by his deputy, Prof Yemi Osinbajo on the activities of the Federal Government while he was away and Osinbajo who was acting President formally handed over to his principal.

Similarly, Femi Adesina, Buhari’s spokesperson took to Twitter to reveal that President Buhari has signed a letter informing the National Assembly of his return after his medical vacation in London.

PMB has signed a letter informing the N'Assembly of his resumption of duty from today. He receives briefing from the VP in a short while.

He said that the letter formalised the president’s return.

“PMB has signed a letter informing the N’Assembly of his resumption of duty from today. He receives briefing from the VP in a short while.”

Adesina’s post debunks some reports indicating that the President had asked Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to continue to act on his behalf.
