Drama As Saraki Refuses To Shake Hands With IGP Idris At Armed Forces Remembrance Day

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki has left the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris embarrassed after refusing to shake hands with him at the Armed Forces Remembrance Day.

The cold relationship between the Senate President and IGP Idris was openly displayed after Saraki refused to accept the handshake extended to him by the police boss during the Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration, an event held at the National Archade in Abuja on Tuesday, January 15, 2018.

The police chief, who was standing near the mounted podium at the event, had saluted the Senate President, preparatory to a handshake as has been the practice but instead of walking towards Idris to accept the handshake from him, the Senate President steadily looked at him and walked away to shake the service chiefs who were standing together with the IGP.

But the case was different with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, who had arrived at the occasion not only in the company of the Senate President but also walked to the podium to take salutes at the same time.
