National leaders of All Progressives Congress (APC) including Bola Tinubu; former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; the party’s national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun; the Senate president Bukola Saraki and others had a strategic meeting yesterday, February 24, 2016 in Aso Rock with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
It is curious that the critical meeting held while President Muhammadu Buhari was away in Saudi Arabia for a state visit.
This was the very first time such a high powered meeting of the APC top leaders would be gathering in the office of the vice president since inauguration of Buhari’s government.
It is believed that they were meeting for the presidency to soft pedal on the trial of Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal over supposed false declaration of assets.
Special adviser to the VP, Senator Femi Ojudu said that a statement would be issued on the “consultative meeting”.
Spokesman for the vice president, Mr. Laolu Akande simply said the meeting was “very useful and resourceful”.
