President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has said that the failure of the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to show up for security briefing on the killings across the country is a threat to democracy.

Saraki made this known in a tweet via the verified Twitter handle, The Senate President.

The Senate had invited Idris to come and brief it on the killings in the country, but, for the second time in less than a week, the IG had declined to make physical appearance.

Last Thursday when he was supposed to appear before the Senate, he sent a Deputy IG, Joshak Habila, and went on a state visit with President Buhari to Bauchi.

The Senate refused to entertain Habila, insisting on having the IG.

On Wednesday (today), the IG sent Habila again, but the lawmakers condemned the action, saying it could jeopardise democracy.

If he no come the 3rd time, make dem arrest am jare.

The IG is Buhari man, so he's refusing to appear before the Senate has Buhari approval.

if mama cow is eating grass the calf will watch his mouth well

I.g has watched d Dullard well

We should respect the institution not the individuals. This impunity by the IGP and executive is not good for our democracy.
I am worried by this trend of demonising and legislature. You see individuals who should know better supporting this. The Apc operates by chronic manipulation almost akin to witchcraft

Saraki is right

They want to abuse power and don't want anyone to check them. Horrible for democracy.

Expected from the ex-dictator turned "democratic" president Buhari.

If you notice something about the 8th Assembly, whenever anything is not going in their favour that's when you will hear them shouting DEMOCRACY DEMOCRACY,

Oga shut up okay that stupid men's in red chamber should go and jump into lagoon all I care .
