Invitation: Reps deny apologising to Buhari

House of Representatives on Monday denied reports that it apologised to President Muhammadu Buhari for inviting him to address the lower chamber on rising insecurity in the country.

The House of Representatives had invited Buhari to address the House after Boko Haram killed 43 rice farmers in Borno State.

Buhari, who promised to appear before the House later made a u-turn and never showed up.

However, the House of Representatives, in a statement on Monday said it had come to its knowledge that a few sections of the media reported that the House apologised to the presidency over the resolution of the House which arose from the motion sponsored by members from Borno State, requesting an invitation of the president to brief the nation on the state of insecurity of the country.
