President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday night met behind closed-doors with 30-man delegation of the 174 All Progressives Congress (APC) members of the House of Representatives loyal to Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.
Gbajabiamila who was the choice of the (APC) for the post of the Speaker of the House of Representatives lost the election for the seat to Yakubu Dogara, who defied the party’s directive to contest for the seat.
Following the loss, APC later wanted Gbajabiamila and other loyal APC members to emerge as principal officers of the House of Representatives.
But Dogara and his group were not disposed to the position of the party.
The meeting started when Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo arrived the First Lady Conference Room venue around 9.45 p.m.
Although details of discussions at the meeting is unknown, it is believed that the meeting is to seek Buhari’s assistance towards ensuring party’s supremacy in filling the other four positions.
