NEWS- President Buhari cancels Ramadan dinner with N/Assembly

– President’s aide gives reasons for cancellation – House of Reps spokesperson says they were not the reason for the cancellation – New date to be scheduled and communicated soonest
President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly canceled a Ramadan dinner with leaders of the National Assembly, Daily Trust reports. The meeting which was supposed to hold on Wednesday night, was said to have been canceled by the presidency due to clash of schedules. Making this claim was the senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, who stated: “This arose from the clash of schedules. You know the President spent the first fourteen days of the fast out of the country.” He added that the meeting was packaged as soon as the president arrived so that every interest could be accommodated, but it turned out that prior commitments of some invitees made the change of date inevitable, adding: “We are expecting that a new date will be appointed.” Abdulrazak Namdas, the House of Representatives spokesperson, told Daily Trust that the dinner was organised only for the presiding officers and the other principal officers of the National Assembly, and that they were not the reasons for the cancellation. “Nobody should say we refused to honour the president’s invitation. They were the ones that brought the idea of the dinner, and they were the ones that postponed it,” he said. Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, the Senate’s spokesperson could not be reached for a stand of the upper chamber on the sudden cancellation. This latest development is coming on the heels of reports that some Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caucus senators in the upper chamber of the national assembly have withdrawn their support for the president. The lawmakers announced their decision at a press briefing at the National Assembly on Wednesday, June 22. The PDP senators listed the alleged continuous victimization of its members by anti-graft agency, proposed trial of Senate president, Bukola Saraki and his deputy. Ike Ekweremadu for alleged forgery of senate standing rule as part of the reasons for their grievance against the APC-led government.

There are two theories as to how planets in the solar system were created. The first and most widely accepted, core accretion, works well with the formation of the terrestrial planets like Earth but has problems with giant planets. The second, the disk instability method, may account for the creation of giant planets. Scientists are continuing to study planets in and out of the solar system in an effort to better understand which of these methods is most accurate. The core accretion model Approximately 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system was a cloud of dust and gas known as a solar nebula. Gravity collapsed the material in on itself as it began to spin, forming the sun in the center of the nebula. With the rise of the sun, the remaining material began to clump up. Small particles drew together, bound by the force of gravity, into larger particles. The solar wind swept away lighter elements, such as hydrogen and helium, from the closer regions, leaving only heavy, rocky mater
