Buhari Hurries Back To Abuja, Meets With APC Lawmakers

There is fire on the mountain and Mr. President can't afford to sit on the fence anymore, otherwise the men who are strategizing for the PDP will take control of the National Assembly through the back door.

President Muhammadu Buhari returned to Abuja from Germany early on Tuesday and headed for a very strategic intervention meeting over the crisis rocking his All Progressives Congress (APC).

Shortly after his arrival in Abuja, Mr. Buhari asked to be briefed about the crisis brewing in the APC over the party’s choice of candidates for the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Reps.

SR source said the President summoned all lawmakers on the platform of the APC to an emergency meeting at 9am at the International Convention Center. APC legislators are expected to move from the meeting to the National Assembly to take part in the inauguration of the National Assembly.

It is unclear if Senator Bukola Saraki will honor the invitation to meet with Buhari as the PDP has endorsed him as their candidate to become Senate President. 

APC had endorsed Senator Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan as candidate for the Presidency of the Senate.
