Buhari and Dogara
For a second time since the budget padding scandal was revealed to
the public, President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday, held another private
meeting with the speaker of the federal house of representatives, Yakubu
Dogara, at the state house, Abuja.
According to Channels Television, political watchers say Friday’s
visit may be in connection with the rift currently rocking the National
Assembly and how to improve on the relationship between the Executive
and Legislative arms of government, following allegations of padding of
the 2016 budget.
But the Speaker told reporters after the meeting that he just came
to see the President and would not say anything to the press because he
is on vacation.
Recall that this is the second time the speaker will be visiting the president after
his August 5 meeting after Abdulmumin Jibrin, a member of the house,
levelled allegations of corruption against the leadership of the lower
chamber.
