Senate President, Bukola Saraki
Tuesday night said that the National Assembly was ready to receive President
Muhammadu Buhari whenever he is ready to present the 2018 Appropriation Bill.
Saraki spoke with State House
correspondents after the dinner the leadership of the National Assembly had
with the Presidency at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said the meeting was to
welcome President Buhari from medical vacation.
Though he said it was an
interactive session with President Buhari, Saraki, said, “Mr President invited
us for dinner; as you know since he came back we have not had the opportunity
to meet with him.
“He has met with different
stakeholders, this is the first meeting since returning to the country with the
leadership of the National Assembly. So the meeting is to welcome him and we
are all grateful that he has come back and we are happy and we assured him that
we will continue to cooperate with the executive and also to acknowledge the
role we played while he was away.
“He thanked all the members for
the patriotic approach they took on the period of his absence.”
On when the President will be
coming to the National Assembly to present the 2018 budget, he said “that
question should be directed to the executive, we receive them whenever they are
ready.”
