President Muhammadu Buhari has agreed to face the House of Representatives to address the country on recent security crisis bugging the nation.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, disclosed this to State House Correspondents after a meeting with President Buhari in his office at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja, Wednesday evening.

It would be recalled that the House of Representatives, on Tuesday, passed a resolution, inviting the President to the chambers of the House to answer questions over the security situation in the country.

The summon on the President was a reaction to the unabated activities of terrorists and bandits in different parts of the country, especially in the north, and the killing of tens of rice farmers in Zabarmari community, Borno State, over the weekend.

Although the agreed date was not disclosed, Gbajabiamila said the President would honour the summon and provide required enlightenment on security developments across the country.

“We came here to see the President, he was ever so willing to listen as typical of Mr. President the usual democrat that he is. And what we basically sought was to convey the resolution of the House and to fix a date, which we did not fix out of respect for Mr. President, and his very tight schedule when a date will be convenient, we have agreed on a date he will meet with the House to address the situation.

“We will communicate the date to you, he is a perfect democrat and he will come to the House to address members and it will be in the nearest future.

“He is coming to talk to Nigerians through the House. You know the House as we have it, as it is constituted, all of Nigeria is present in the House, every single constituency in this country is represented in the House. You shouldn’t look at it as Mr. President talking to the House, he is talking to Nigerians through their representatives,” he said.

Asked how he perceived the President might be reacting to the security situation in the country, Gbajabiamila said “I think he is more concerned than me or you, that’s what I can say. You know they say uneasy lies the head that wears the crown, we will leave everything until when he comes to the House, let me not preempt him, but all I can tell you right now is that he is fully committed to the security, the welfare, lives and property of Nigerians.”

It would be recalled that the Senate, on Tuesday, also passed a resolution, which among other things, called on the President to sack all service chiefs, noting that the administration has failed to secure lives of Nigerians.

lol what different would it make? He will come and read from paper

We look forward to it.

Even though I have serious doubts and can hardly see how that would translate into any tangible difference in terms of what currently face economically insecurity wise.

I'm sure even the Reps themselves would only cheer him from the begining to the end of his presentation.

So, I ask, what the heck is the point?

Let the preparation of the president's appearance Begin

Great! Apart from addressing the house, he should also be interrogated by lawmakers. He must answer all the questions that have been bothering the minds of Nigerians as it relates to insecurity and why he is so reluctant to remove the service chiefs and rejig the strategy being employed in the war on terrorism.

We want to see a very serious, honest and frank engagement and not the usual clapping and cheering session.

A welcome Development....

bubu is a democrat....






Thread..seen..

Pk

Yes....another live recording loading!

Hjmm

Closed door session loading

Editing begins

APC bastards any democracy without opposition is not a democracy the Saraki lead opposition made Nigeria better.

Everything will be doctored all questions given to him and he will choose the ones wants to answer and send back to them.

Any question that will reveal his weakness and inability to rule will not be entertained and anyone tries to prove that he is indeed Jubril from Sudan will also be shut down.

Whatever.

Very good

With revised questions

Summon my foot?
They all know what they're doing
It's going to die down

Wahala for who still get hope for Nigeria

Nkan shey Buhari....

if you chat me up now, I will deliver enlargement gel to your preferred address in Lagos.
The gel was 6k but now 5K!

Just imagine

Make dem just sell the country share the money make everybody find his\her way

Hope he buhari is not reading from paper this time.

He should resign.

which tight schedule is more than issues of national security,they have agreed on a date but they cant disclose...one day thunder will just provoke by its self and strike all these people.

Good they should question him on how many dead bodies we should have before they change service chiefs. Why he has not sent all this people to stay in Sambisa starting with all his aides that come online to post nonsense. Why he hasn’t changed Emefiele. What his stance is on non-performance and how long a person must be a failure before they are removed and a more capable person put to do government work. What criteria they use for screening candidates for posts as no federal character is being reflected.

Normal expectation, from buhari to be talking out of point rubbish in other word.

he will soon deny Accepting thier invitation..... just wait for it

Going there to take pictures... Make the pic sha fine

In the nearest future? Maybe by late 2022!!!

Dem go beg am make e show up make e no fall their hands. Probably went with the questions to be asked too so baba can prepare ahead.

We will see if it will be a closed door session or edited broadcast.

Useless politicians with no idea on how to move the country forward except their pockets.

Lets be clear here

The Presidency is different from the President

Who of the two is actually honoring the invitation?
