Saraki Snubs IGP Idris’s Handshake

The cold relationship between the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, today became visible in Abuja during the Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration, with the former refusing to accept a handshake extended to him by the police boss.       

Saraki and Idris Both were at the event held at the National Archade, Abuja, to mark the climax of the activities of the 2019 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration.

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.
