President Buhari Receives Senate Panel on Saraki-IGP Row
President Muhammadu Buhari has received a delegation of the Senate Committee on Police Affairs, led by Senator Abu Ibrahim, to discuss the ongoing controversy surrounding the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, and the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
The committee was set up by the Senate to investigate the allegations of misconduct and disobedience to the Senate's summons made against Idris by Saraki. The Senate President had accused the IGP of refusing to appear before the Senate to answer questions on the alleged plot to impeach him.
The delegation, which included other members of the committee, met with President Buhari at the State House in Abuja. The President was briefed on the committee's findings and recommendations, which are expected to be presented to the Senate soon.
According to sources, the committee's report is expected to recommend disciplinary action against Idris for his alleged disobedience to the Senate's summons. The report is also expected to recommend measures to strengthen the relationship between the police and the National Assembly.
The meeting between President Buhari and the Senate committee is seen as a significant development in the ongoing controversy, which has generated a lot of heat in the country. The controversy has also raised concerns about the independence of the police and the role of the National Assembly in the country's governance system.
It remains to be seen what action the Senate will take based on the committee's report and recommendations. However, the meeting between President Buhari and the Senate committee is a positive step towards resolving the controversy and strengthening the relationship between the executive and legislative arms of government.
