Buhari meets security chiefs, dines with governors
President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday met behind closed doors with heads of security agencies and also broke Ramadan fast with governors of APC at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the meeting with heads of security operatives which lasted for about one-and-a-half hours took place at the president’s office.
Those at the meeting included service chiefs, Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Lawal Daura and the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Ahmed Rufa’i.
The Inspector-General of Police, Alhaji Idris Ibrahim, who was at the presidential villa, was not part of the meeting with the president but later attended another security meeting which was presided over by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.
The Director-General of the DSS, Lawal Daura, also joined the IGP, Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, at the meeting with Osinbajo.
The outcomes of the two meetings are still being awaited as at the time of filing this report.
Buhari also in evening broke the Ramadan fast with state governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in his official residence at Aso Rock.
The “Iftar” with the governors, unlike the previous ones, held with leadership of the National Assembly, Judiciary and others, was not open for full media coverage.
Traditional rulers across the country are billed to be hosted by the President for the breaking of fast this week. (NAN)
