Following these allegation from the Senate president, a 10-man delegation led by Saraki was raised to meet President Muhammadu Buhari.
However, Daily Trust reports that a source in the delegation claimed that they are yet to meet the president as they have not been given an appointment. The source claimed: “We haven’t gone to the Villa because appointment has not been given to us. We can only go there on appointment."
The source, however, claimed that he is unsure whether the office of the Senate president has written the presidency to request the appointment or not.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the inspector-general of police Ibrahim Idis responded to allegations by Senate president, Bukola Saraki, accusing him of plotting to frame him.
Idris in a statement issued by Jimoh Moshood, police spokesman, said this was far from the truth. He admitted that some cultists in Kwara state had confessed to killing some persons and that according to police procedure were transferred to Abuja.
He reminded the Senate president that interfering in police investigation remains a crime and said the police will do its work regardless of those who may be involved.
