When the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, ignored the Senate’s invitation the first time and sent his deputy, many thought he was busy with security issues. Then he did it the third time, and it dawned on all that it is a clear snub and a total disregard for the institution of the Senate. This is total disregard for Section 88 of the constitution which confers on the National Assembly, the power to summon a public officials. What could have led to such disregard? For how long will the president continue to harbour such arrogance and flagrant disregard for Presidential orders and other arms of government?
