Senate President, Bukola Saraki says his ongoing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal was not discussed during his meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday night.

The Senate President spoke with State House correspondents at the end of the meeting held behind closed doors at the First Lady’s Conference Hall in the Presidential Villa.

Saraki revealed their subject of discussion, thus;

“The meeting was an initiative of the President for an interaction with the leadership of the National Assembly.

“It was a very useful session, being the first one. This kind of interaction helps in ensuring smooth relationship between the two arms of government.

“We discussed a number of issues: some of the plans. The general commitment is that yes, the National Assembly has legislators from different parties but now we are representing Nigeria. We have a common goal to see that we work together for the interest of the country as a whole.”

“We are talking about what will make Nigeria work, we are talking about the promises we made during elections.

“Those are the big issues we are talking about and to ensure that there are no distractions. The focus is to ensure that the executive arm does things in the interest of the county.

“It is normal in democratic setting, from time to time, you see the parliament talking with the executive. That is how to make things work.”
