President Muhammadu Buhari has entered into a closed door meeting with the leadership of the Nigerian Senate.
President Muhammadu Buhari and Saraki
It has been revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday
afternoon, held a closed-door meeting with the leadership of the
Nigerian Senate.
Premium Times reported that the senators at the meeting, held at
the President’s office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, were led by the
Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu.
After the meeting with the lawmakers, they exited while Mr. Buhari held a personal meeting with Mr. Saraki.
Wednesday’s meeting occurred about a week after the Senate rejected
Mr. Buhari’s request to borrow $29.9 billion from external sources.
The lawmakers, across party divide, rejected the application
without debate saying it did not come with relevant information such as
purpose, means of repayment and so on.
The debt, if approved, will be Nigeria’s largest ever borrowing.
