The meeting called on Monday by the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been boycotted by Senator Bukola Saraki, one of the party’s top contenders for the presidency of the Senate. Prof. Yemi Osinbajo

Senator Saraki boycotted the meeting after reportedly telling party leaders that as a former governor he could not attend a meeting summoned by a ‘mere commissioner’, referring to Professor Yemi Osinbajo, whose previous public office was as Commissioner of Justice in Lagos State. Saraki then became a Senator, while Osinbajo is now the Vice President.

Following Saraki’s snub, Prof. Osinbajo didn’t bother to attend the meeting, but the party met with its elected lawmakers, with some of Saraki’s earlier supporters joining the meeting.

Sources at the meeting told SaharaReporters that the leaders of the National Working Committee of the APC reaffirmed their support for candidates chosen during Saturday’s mock primaries of the party.

The Senate and the House of Representatives are expected to be inaugurated tomorrow. President Muhammad Buhari has given his blessing and dispatched a letter to the Clerk of the National Assembly asking to declare the two chambers inaugurated. Buhari is expected to return to Abuja on Tuesday evening, according presidency sources.

APC is expected to hold a final meeting tonight to prepare for the elections of its principal officers of the National Assembly tomorrow.

out if every 12, there is always a judas...why is saraki stiring more trouble in an already troubled country? i dont see any reason why he should disregard the office of the v.p because of a fruitless political ambition of his.

Same people

Saraki with his inordinate ambition and exorbitant arrogance will make governance difficult for PMB if he eventually becomes the Senate President.

The bad eggs in APC are surfacing. PDP blood is running in his body

He can peacefully port back to his tore and damaged umbrella party... Ko kan aiye. PMB needs people with vision and mission.

Pride goeth before a fall..

Saraki will see himself as the number two citizen once he is elected Senate President and may be eyeing the office of the President come 2019.

If this report is true, then Saraki must be stopped by all means possible. He is too ambitious, arrogant and disrespectful.

Fine... Saraki will make governance easy for buhari unlike tinubu that wants to use his stooges in both houses to fight the Nigerian leader

Stopped because somebody wants to take his mandate away from him?

The earlier you people start working on Tinubu's dictatorship the better for you.

Saraki should be ignored. Saraki is a light weight in national politics. Saraki only controls Kwara central. Saraki will lose. More so Saraki is fulani yoruba. The president is Fulani. The vice president is Yoruba. We don't need a Fulani or Yoruba as the senate president. Let the Senate President be Lawan or Akume.

Who is taking his mandate away. It's a game of either lose or win. It's about voting, and he wasn't chosen. For some reason, majority of party members believe that electing him a Senate President will be a danger and service to the party. Seeing the turn of events, can't say that they are wrong.

The bad eggs in APC are surfacing, so much arrogance. Will be waiting for what happens on the floor of the National Assembly today

Hmmm, saraki, if u boycott ur party order; it wud nt be well wit u. And it shows dt u re' hvn eveil intention, am nt afraid cos u ill lose ur evil ambition. Amen.

Saraki na mumu him no dey shame na commissioner dey vp him useless head.
