President Muhammadu Buhari has bowed to the House of Representatives and agreed to address it on the security challenges facing several parts of the country.
The Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila disclosed this to State House correspondents after meeting Buhari at the Presidential Villa on Wednesday.
Recall that the House on Tuesday, resolved to invite Buhari to address lawmakers on efforts being made to address the security challenges in parts of the country.
“We came to see the President on developments in the country. He was so willing to listen as typical of the President, the usual democrat that he is.
“What we basically sought was to convey the resolution of the House and to fix a date which we did not fix, out of respect for Mr President and his very tight schedule, what date will be convenient.
“We have agreed on a date and he will meet with the House to address the situation. We have fixed a date but we will communicate with you.
“He is a perfect democrat; he will come to the House to address members in the nearest future.
On the feelings of the president on the nation’s security challenges, the speaker said “I think he is more concerned than me and you. Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.
“We will leave everything until when he comes to the House. Let me not pre-empt him.
“All I can tell you for now is that he is fully committed to the security of lives and property of Nigerians.’’
