President Buhari to Address House of Representatives on Security

President Muhammadu Buhari has agreed to address the House of Representatives on the security situation in the country.

According to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila, a date has been agreed on and it will be communicated soon.

He stated this on Wednesday, noting that the president is more concerned than most on the state of insecurity in the nation and will speak to Nigerians through their representatives soon.

The decision to summon President Buhari was taken at Tuesday’s plenary when the House considered a motion moved by members from Borno State on the recent massacre of 43 rice farmers in the state by Boko Haram insurgents.

The debate had earlier turned rowdy after the Speaker appealed that it would be inappropriate to invite the president to disclose the actions being taken towards handling the security situation in the country.
