Reports say the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, on Thursday during a meeting the trio attended attempted to settle the rift between the duo.

It's believed that the Presidency insisted that Saraki must sever his relationship with the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu in a meeting between Buhari and Dogara on Monday in Abuja,

The development meant the removal of the Peoples Democratic Party legislator from Enugu State from the number five political office in the country.

It was gathered that removing Ekweremadu was reportedly viewed by The Presidency as one of the possible political solutions to the heat generated by the trial of Saraki by Code of Conduct Tribunal for a an alleged false declaration of assets.

However, Saraki is said not to be disposed to the idea, arguing that he would not betray his deputy.
 
Juxtaposition of conflicting ideas: the lawsmakers who had clamoured for independent of the National Assembly now want the Executive to interfere in the Judiciary, to stop the case against Saraki.
