President Buhari on Thursday night held a closed-door meeting with the leadership of the National Assembly inside the Presidential Villa.

Senate President Bukola Saraki and Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara led the principal officers of the National Assembly to the meeting which started just after 9 pm and ended more than one hour later.

The agenda of the meeting was not made public.

It, however, comes two days after the President declined to sign the Electoral Act Amendment Bill passed by the National Assembly into law.
