President Buhari Summons Security Chiefs To Emergency Meeting

President Muhammadu Buhari is set to hold an emergency meeting with security chiefs in Abuja.

In a statement, presidential media aide, Garba Shehu said the meeting is “to further review and strengthen security network in the country.

Femi Adesina Defends Buhari’s Decision to Travel to Dakar

The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina has said the President has to proceed with his scheduled foreign trip because one should never surrender to the antics of terrorists.

Adesina stated this in reaction to the criticisms that trailed the decision of the President to go ahead with his trip to participate in the International Development Association (IDA) for Africa Summit in Dakar, Senegal.

While explaining the reasons the President was traveling to Senegal, said he should go because there’s an international conference meant for heads of states and presidents which he should attend and never give in to terrorists.

The President left Abuja amid series of attacks in the last 24 hours in Katsina and Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

Bandits opened fire on a convoy of his advance team in Katsina on Tuesday.

The team was heading for Daura, the president’s hometown when bandits ambushed them. In yet another Katsina attack, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, was gunned down.

Also, gunmen broke into Kuje Prison in the nation’s capital and set inmates, including high-profile Boko Haram suspects, free.

Supreme Court Fixes May 19th For President Buhari’s Suit Against National Assembly Over Section 84(12) Of Electoral Act

The Supreme Court has invited President Muhammadu Buhari to appear before it on Thursday, May 19th for a hearing in a suit he instituted against the National Assembly challenging Section 84 subsection 12 of the 2022 Electoral Act.

Also invited to be in court on the same day are the National Assembly and its leadership to defend various constitutional breaches raised against them by the Presidency.

A hearing notice issued by the apex court indicated that the invitation of President Buhari was served on him through his private lawyer, Prince Lateef Fagbemi.

By implication, Fagbemi, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, is to profer arguments against the National Assembly on the invalidity and unconstitutionality of Section 84 (12) of the new Electoral Act.

The National Assembly had countered a suit filed by President Buhari and the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, on the controversial Section 84 subsection 12.

While the President and minister asked the Supreme Court to interpret the provision of the section of the law, the lawmakers opposed the request to strike it out.

Their position was contained in a counter-affidavit filed by the counsel to the National Assembly, Kayode Ajulo at the apex court.

Speaking on a monitored programme, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Jibrin Okutekpa wondered what the grievance of President Buhari was, considering that he is not affected by the said section of the act.
