NASS crisis: Obasanjo with Senate President, Saraki in a closed-door meeting

The Senate President , Dr Bukola Saraki, held a closed- door meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his penthouse within the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta on Monday .

Saraki, who came in a black Toyota Landcruiser jeep in company with some security aides , arrived the OOPL around 5 . 30 pm and emerged from the meeting at 7 . 12 pm .

Our correspondent gathered that the meeting was earlier scheduled to hold at 4 pm but did not start until 5 . 30 pm when Saraki arrived at the venue. Emerging from the meeting , Saraki told journalists that he was with Obasanjo to make up for his absence at the formal inauguration of the Presidential library held last year .

He said, “You know I missed the official opening of the library and that is why I have decided to come and see the place and, honestly, it is beautiful; we are very proud of what he has done here . ”The embattled Senate President hurriedly entered his vehicle and it zoomed off when journalists threw questions at him about the crisis rocking the National Assembly .

Informed sources , however , said that the meeting was not unconnected with the crisis rocking the National Assembly over the plot to impeach him by the All Progressives Congress senators .
