President Muhammadu Buhari has
reportedly met with some senators of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) at the
presidential villa on Monday, night, July
23, to dissuade them from defection from
the ruling party.
The Tribune reports that the senators led
by Rabiu Kwankwaso were seen at the
presidential villa, Abuja along with the

running battle with the governor from
his state and is believed to be on the
verge of defecting from the ruling party.
The Monday meeting is sequel to the
recent talks Saraki and speaker, House of
Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, had
with President Buhari and Vice President
Yemi Osinbajo over the same issue. It is
believed the outcome of that meeting did
not go as planned.
