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

The meeting started around 2.p.m when the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara arrived the President’s office.

The meeting was still in progress at the time of filing this report
