President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday met behind closed-doors with the leadership of the National Assembly.

Senate President, Mr Ahmed Lawan, and Speaker of House of Representatives, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, attended the meeting which started by 3:00 p.m. at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

However, the agenda of the meeting has not been made public.

But sources said the meeting may not be unconnected with last week’s resolution of the National Assembly on the current security situation in the country and the fate of the service chiefs.

Senate had last week charged President Buhari to declare a national security emergency while the lower legislative chamber asked the President to sack the service chiefs over their alleged poor handling of the security challenges.

The military chiefs, according to the lawmakers, have run out of ideas and overstayed their welcome as heads of the country’s security agencies.
