A day after meeting with PDP, Saraki meets with Buhari, APC Governors behind closed doors
Senate President Abubakar Bukola Saraki, on Thursday, met with President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and some governors of All Progressives Congress (APC) behind closed doors at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
This was coming barely 24 hours after Saraki’s meeting with People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leaders on Wednesday.
Some of the APC governors who also attended the meeting were Aminu Masari of Katsina State, Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi, Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State and Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State.
Kayode Fayemi, the Ekiti State Governor-elect, also attended the meeting.
Saraki, who is scheduled to join the PDP next week, held a meeting on Wednesday with Uche Secondus, National Chairman of the PDP, Nyesom Wike, Governor of Rivers State and nPDP leaders who recently moved out as a bloc in APC to form the R-APC thereby ceasing to be members of the governing Party.
Expected to join him in defecting to the PDP are Governors Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State and Ahmed Abdulfatah of Kwara State.
Samuel Ortom of Benue State, who was looking good to defect as well having already announced his departure from APC on Monday saying he had been “red-carded”, made an about-face on Thursday after meeting with Adams Oshionhole, the APC National Chairman, in Abuja saying he did not defect from APC to any party.
