Senators may boycott Senate’s security summit
Senators are threatening to boycott the February 1 security summit organised by the upper chamber, it was learnt yesterday.
They do not want the Villa Banquet Hall venue.
The decision to organise the summit was taken by the Senate after a January 17 debate on the state of the nation and killings.
The Executive showed interest in participating and President Muhammadu Buhari agreed to open the summit.
After a lengthy closed-session, Senate President Bukola Saraki merely announced that the Senate deliberated on workings of the Senate and the National Assembly in general.
