The Peoples Democratic Party, on Thursday, said President Muhammadu Buhari has nothing to tell Nigerians and that could be responsible for his reported boycott of a joint National Assembly sitting today.
According to PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, Buhari disclosed this on Thursday.
“Mr President is afraid of the obvious, he knows he has nothing to tell Nigerians on the security situation in the country. That is why he is running from the National Assembly,” Ologbondiyan stated on Thursday.
The spokesperson of the opposition party also said there was no plan by the PDP caucus in the House of Representatives to embarrass the president at the sitting today.
Eko Hot Blog recalls that the House of Representatives led by the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, had last week invited Buhari over the rising insecurity and the killing of over 43 farmers in Borno State.
Following this, Buhari’s aid President, Lauretta Onochie, had also revealed that he would appear before a joint session of the National Assembly on Thursday.

The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), therefore said the National Assembly lacked the power to invite the President to speak on security matters.
