Speaker seeks political solution to Saraki’s ordeal

The President’s mood will determine whether he will go on to mediate in the matter to find a political solution as advised by the House.

 

Reports say the House of Reps Speaker,  Hon. Yakubu Dogara met with President Buhari, on Monday night, to proffer a political solution to Senator Bukola Saraki’s ordeal.

According to Punch Newspapers, a source in the House of Reps said “I am aware that he (speaker) secured a booking to see the President this night. But, this will not be an open meeting just yet. I think he wants to first see Mr. President and inform him about the resolution of the House.”
