Nigeria’s Senate President on Friday said he visited President Muhammadu Buhari at the Statehouse just on a general felicitation.
Speaking with State House correspondents after observing Juma’at prayer and holding meeting with the President along with some lawmakers, Saraki said that the loan request is a work-in-progress.
On the purpose of his visit to the Presidential Villa, he said: “I came here to pray, I have finished praying and I just had a general felicitation with the President. It didn’t go beyond that.”
He urged Nigerians not to politicise the $29.9 billion loan request forwarded to the National Assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari for approval.
Asked to speak on the Senate’s relationship with the executive as far as the loan is concern, he said: “We should not look at that as a reflection of the relationship. Don’t let us politicise very important issues. As we said this is work in progress.
The Senate had on Tuesday rejected the request based on lack of detailed information.
