Buhari refuses to meet national assembly Leaders - See why

President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly cancelled a Ramadan dinner with leaders of the National Assembly, Daily Trust reports.

The meeting, which was supposed to hold on Wednesday night, was said to have been cancelled by the presidency due to clash of schedules.

Making this claim was the senior special assistant to the president for media and publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, who stated: “This arose from the clash of schedules. You know the President spent the first fourteen days of the fast out of the country.”

He added that the meeting was packaged as soon as the president arrived so that every interest could be accommodated, but it turned out that prior commitments of some invitees made the change of date inevitable, adding: “We are expecting that a new date will be appointed.”

Abdulrazak Namdas, the House of Representatives spokesperson, said the dinner was organized only for the presiding officers and the other principal officers of the National Assembly, and that they were not the reasons for the cancellation.
