Bukola Saraki Absent as APC Senators Meets With President Buhari

Senate President Bukola Saraki was conspicuously absent at the meeting the All Progressive Congress (APC) caucus in the senate had with President Buhari on Wednesday night.



Ahmad Lawan, senate majority leader, led his colleagues to the meeting, which had Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the party; Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation; Abba Kyari, chief of staff to the president in attendance.

Lanre Tejuosho, senator representing Ogun central, was also at the meeting.

He is among those listed to have defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The senators who visited Buhari introduced themselves. When it got to the turn of Tejuoso, he added: “Mr. President, your son is back home.”

This elicited laughter among his colleagues and the president.

However, Tejuosho made it clear that he was still making consultations on which political party to align himself with.
