Last week, what started as an acquiescence by President Muhammadu Buhari to the invitation from the House of Representatives to address the legislators eventually ended in a snub.
In a motion passed by the green chamber the previous week, the lawmakers had invited Mr Buhari over the worsening security situation in the country, with the latter agreeing to make an appearance on Thursday.
However, his All Progressives Congress (APC) party members, at their national executive council meeting, where the tenure of Mala Buni-led caretaker committee was extended, had a different plan.
Governors of the ruling APC and some lawmakers prevailed upon Mr Buhari to ditch the invitation because of the implication his appearance might have on them and their party, especially because there were talks of possible embarassment being planned by the opposition People’s Democratic Party.
