Insecurity: Reps Drop Buhari Invitation, Apologise To Presidency
The House of Representatives is no longer keen on inviting President Muhammadu Buhari to address it on the security challenge in the country, The Nation gathered authoritatively on Saturday.
The House leadership, according to sources, found that the initial invitation had assumed ethnic and political dimension.
It was also learnt that some of the lawmakers behind the motion to invite Buhari had apologised to the Presidency.
They claimed that their motion was not intended to embarrass the President, contrary to insinuations in some quarters.
Some members had sponsored a motion to seek the urgent intervention of the Presidency following the recent killing of 48 farmers in Zabamari, Borno State.
Those who demanded action were Hon. Ahmed Satomi, Hon. Mohammed Tahir Monguno, Hon. Zainab Gimba, Hon. Muktar Betara, Hon. Mallam Bukar Gana, Hon. Haruna Mshelia, Hon. Ahmadu Usman Jaha, Hon. Ibrahim Mohammed Bukar, Hon. Usman Zannah and Hon. Abdulkadir Rahis.
