Tinubu, Akpabio meet in Aso Rock
President Bola Tinubu last night met with the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, at the president’s official residence at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The President of the Senate motorcade was sighted stationed outside President Tinubu’s residence at the State House on Wednesday evening.
Although the agenda of the meeting was not made public at press time, it came hours after the Senate on Wednesday summoned intelligence chiefs to investigate allegations made by United States Congressman Perry Scott that the United States Agency for International Development, USAID, has been funding terrorist organisations, including Boko Haram.
The resolution followed an order of urgent national security raised under Order 41 by Senator Mohammed Ndume, representing Borno South Senatorial District.
Speaking at Wednesday’s plenary session, Akpabio said Nigeria won’t allow the USAID to continue operating in Nigeria if found guilty of sponsoring terrorism.
The President of the Senate said it is important for Nigeria to ascertain the veracity of the allegation.
