Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, has held a meeting with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Yakubu Dogara, in his office in the Presidential Villa.
It is the second time the Speaker of the House of Representatives is visiting the Presidential Villa within two weeks.
Political watchers say Friday’s visit may be in connection with the rift in the National Assembly and how to improve on the relationship between the Executive and Legislative arms of government, following allegations of padding of the 2016 budget.
But the Speaker told reporters after the meeting that he just came to see the President and would not say anything to the press because he is on vacation.
Also at the Presidential Villa was the General Overseer of the Later Rain Assembly Pastor Tunde Bakare.
Pastor Bakare entered the Villa at about 2:45pm local time and went straight to the President’s office for a meeting also said to be private.
After the meeting that lasted for about an hour, Pastor Bakare told reporters that he was happy that the President was doing well health wise.
In answer to the questions on the performance of the administration, he called on Nigerians to be patient with the administration, which he said inherited a lot of rot.
“There is no pain without gain,” he said, assuring nigerians that President Buhari will not disappoint them.
