The visit of the   Senate President,  Senator   Bukola Saraki, to former President Olusegun Obasanjo in his Abeokuta residence   could be said to be suspicious.
The visit, attended by only members of New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) and  some senators loyal to Saraki added credence to the insinuation that  the nPDP was plotting big in the All Progressives Congress (APC).
It is being insinuated that   the members of the nPDP  led by a  former acting National Chairman, of the PDP  Kawu Baraje, might soon ditch the APC and rejoin their former party.
The claim has meanwhile been denied by Saraki and his supporters.
The meeting with Obasanjo has been interpreted to be a preparatory step by the APC chieftains to return to the PDP.
Journalists were barred from covering the meeting.
Both Obasanjo and Saraki, while emerging from the meeting, laughed while they whispered  to each other.
Expectedly, none of the parties (Obasanjo and Saraki)   wanted to divulge the details of the meeting which began   at 9:10am immediately   after the Senate President arrived the palatial home of the former President and ended 11:10 am.
But, there were some activities that took place prior to the secret meeting .
For instance, a   day to the meeting,   there was an insinuation   that, Obasanjo might not attend to the Senate President.
To lend credence to this, the former President was said to have   travelled out of the country.
It was reliably gathered that Obasanjo apparently travelled to  Norway,   but flew back to Nigeria the previous night   to attend   the meeting.
Many things   had sparked   off the   controversy over the meeting.  That Saraki was accompanied by some   members of nPDP who defected to  APC is believed     not to be  mere coincidence.
Saraki, a former governor of Kwara State and a former member of the PDP, had defected   to the APC along with some aggrieved members of the party, including five governors, following irreconcilable differences between them and their former party leaders .
Their defection, political analysts believed, aided   the   victory of the   APC at the general elections.
But, after their victory, there seems to be  disagreements between the group and the APC on the sharing  of some positions.

Findings  showned that the group had wanted one of them   to fly   the APC  flag at   the presidential election,   but, was blocked.
Also,   the position of vice-president was not given to the group.  After these,   another    attempt to    shove the group   aside in the leadership   positions of  the National  Assembly hit the   brick   wall as   one of them emerged Senate President.
Saraki ,who emerged the Senate President under controversial circumstances, was believed to have incurred the wrath of Obasanjo and other leaders of the party.
Obasanjo,   though claimed he was not a member of APC,   has ceased  to be a member of the PDP and was seen as more of a member of APC.
All his ‘boys’ have defected to  the APC while he hosts many leaders of the APC, including President Muhammadu Buhari   and the National Leader of the party,   Asiwaju   Bola   Ahmed Tinubu.
At the initial stage of the campaign for the election of the Senate President, Saraki was not the preferred candidate of the party,   but he  refused    to step down for   the party’s choice, Ahmed   Lawan, and he eventually emerged with 57 votes.
After his victory, he is believed to be mending fence with some party leaders.
Part of the moves was his meeting with former Vice-President   Atiku Abubakar.
But his choice to visit   Obasanjo and not Tinubu   is interpreted as extremely political and strategic.
According to an insider who did not want his name mentioned because he was not authorised to speak on the details  of the meeting,Saraki’s visit was to lobby Obasanjo.
The source further said that the meeting was held to set agenda for the Senate President  and to ensure the party embraces him despite his alleged insubordination.
According to the source,   the meeting also centred on how to handle some sensitive issues at the National Assembly.
Obasanjo,   according to the source, suggested some   way out on the logjam   and how to be a successful Senate President.
Meanwhile, there was an indication that the leadership of APC might not have forgiven Saraki completely despite its statement of pardon issued recently.
The indication was that  no APC leaders in the South-West, including the host state, Ogun, was seen with Saraki.
The tradition is that the host governor would either be physically present at the meeting or be represented.   Apart from that,   the Senate President would also pay a visit to the governor. None of these happened.
The governor of the state,   Senator Ibikunle Amosun, was said to have travelled out of Abeokuta shortly before the meeting   between Saraki and Obasanjo ended to attend a funeral ceremony in Ijebu.
This was unlike during the visit of a  former Senate Present, Senator David Mark, to Obasanjo when many of the party (PDP) leaders were present.
Mark paid a visit to the governor who was not even a   member of his party.
It was reliably gathered that there might have been a directive by the APC leadership   to stay away from Saraki pending the resolution of some issues.
The party,   according to the findings, may have reached out to Amosun and others in the South-West prior to the Saraki meeting with Obasanjo.
The Senate President, when asked to comment on the alleged disobedience to the APC directive on the choice of the candidate for the Senate President seat, kept mum.
However, he denied any rift between him and his party,   saying  the relationship was cordial.
