On Monday the All Progressives Congress (APC) hosted a meeting led by Buhari and attended by other top government officials on the party’s national caucus.
The meeting was held at the new Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Other top government officials who attended the meeting included Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo; President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, and state governors.
Chief John Odigie-Oyegun the national chairman of the party, led other national officers of the party to the meeting. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a national leader of the party, however, was not present at the meeting.
Tinubu is heading a presidential reconciliation committee set up to reconcile aggrieved party members across the country. It had earlier been speculated that he may present his interim report at the meeting.
The caucus meeting was however held ahead of a meeting of the party’s National Executive Council holding on Tuesday.
The issue of the tenure elongation for members of the National Working Committee is believed to be an agenda before the party chiefs. The national caucus meeting was still ongoing as of the time of filing this report.
