The Senate has begun high-level consultations with the Presidency and other stakeholders over its proposed security summit scheduled to hold in February 2018.
In his statement, Former Governor of Nassarawa State, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, expressed his opposition to the open criticism of Buhari by senators when the country’s failing security infrastructure was debated. The lawmaker took exception to what he called outright condemnation of Buhari administration on the matter.
The summit was postponed within 24 hours of the Senate resolution, to allow for proper planning. Sources disclosed that the criticisms against President Muhammadu Buhari over his inaction in the face of mindless killings in many parts of the country fuelled suspicions on the real motive behind the summit.
Meanwhile, the Senate leadership was said to have received several calls seeking explanations on the summit. Also, within the Senate, a cloud of discord is beginning to gather against the summit.
