Our correspondent gathered that the meeting was earlier scheduled to hold at 4 . 00 pm but it did not start until 5 . 30 pm when Saraki arrived the venue .
Emerging from the meeting , Saraki told journalists that he was with Obasanjo to make up for his ( Saraki ’ s ) absence at the formal inauguration of the Presidential library held last year .
He said, “ You know , I missed the official opening of the library and that is why I have decided to come and see the place and , honestly , it is beautiful .
“We are very proud of what he has done here . ”
The embattled Senate President hurriedly entered his vehicle and it zoomed off when journalists asked him questions about the crisis rocking the National Assembly .
Informed sources , however , said that the meeting was not unconnected with the crisis rocking the National Assembly over the plot to impeach him by the All Progressives Congress senators .
