According to a report by
Punch,
Pres. Buhari has resisted new moves by Saraki to meet with him because
he's still upset over what Saraki did during the National Assembly
elections...
An official in the Presidency said the President and the Senate
President had only met once since the latter’s emergence as the leader
of the senate. The official said all efforts by Saraki to have another
meeting with the president, after the party’s National Executive Council
meeting two Fridays ago, have proved abortive.
The reliable source said that Saraki had at different times reached out
to people to help him persuade Buhari to grant him audience.
“The truth is that the President is still displeased with what
transpired in the National Assembly, especially the Senate. Their
encounter during the APC National Executive Council meeting, when they
shook hands, was the first meeting between President Buhari and Saraki
since he emerged as the President of the Senate.
“We are aware that Saraki has been going about begging people to assist
him to plead with the President to meet with him. That was one of the
reasons why he visited former President Obasanjo.
“I can tell you that the President is very pained by what happened. He
felt that since he had been transparent with the party, everybody should
play that way. But since Saraki took that path, the President was and
he is still pained. Let us just hope that at the end of it all, they
will be able to put the matter behind them.” the source said
