Buhari in close-door meeting with APC senators

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday night met with senators elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the conference hall of the wife of the President.
The meeting is coming after a mass defection of some APC lawmakers from APC to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and others.
Agenda of the meeting was not made public as at the time of filing this report, but Blueprint learnt that it might not be unconnected with the defection at the National Assembly.
Senate President Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki is conspicuously absent at the meeting.
Saraki, one of the aggrieved APC senators, is currently being under investigation by the police over allegations bordering on a robbery case in Offa, Kwara state.
Those who attended the meeting were Abdullahi Adamu, Adamu Aleiro, Bala Ibn Na-Allah, Aliyu Wamako, Ibrahim Gobir, Kabiru Marafa, Abu Ibrahim, Kabiru Gaya, Barau Jibrin, Abdullahi Gumel, Shehu Sani, Ahmed Lawan, Ali Ndume, Abubakar Kyari, Baba Kaka Garbai, Aliyu Abdullahi and David Umaru.
Others include George Akume, Francis Alimekhina, Andrew Uchendu, Magnus Abe, Ovie Omo-Agege, John Enoh, Nelson Effiong, Andy Uba, Sunny Ugboji, Hope Uzodinma, Ben Uwajimogu, Yusuf Yusuf, Oluremi Tinubu, Gbenga Ashafa, Solomon Adeola, Tayo Alasoadura, Soji Akanbi, Ajayi Boroface, Yele Omogunwa, Fatima Rasaki, Olanrewaju Tejuoso and Yahaya Abdullahi.
Meanwhile, there was a mild jubilation when the senator representing Ogun Central, Lanre Tejuoso, who was said to have defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) showed up for the meeting.
He received a round of applause from the President and his colleagues at the meeting.
During self introduction, the senator greeted the President with laughter and said: “Mr. President, your son is back home.”
The President replied by asking “What would I have told Kabiyesi?” Apparently referring to Dapo Tejuosho, the Oshile of Oke Ona Egbaland.
