‘Acting President Osinbajo holds secret meeting with Saraki’

Senate President Bukola Saraki on Thursday night held a secret meeting with Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, The Nation reports.

According to the newspaper, the meeting was based on some developments at the senate during the week.

This included the suspension of approval of executive appointees over the retention of the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ( EFCC), Ibrahim Magu.

A source said: “The Senate President met with the Acting President. He actually came alone and without the paraphernalia of his office to underscore his commitment to rapprochement between the Executive and the National Assembly.

Saraki took time to explain a few things to the Acting President, but the talks bordered on the clarification of a few misgivings, especially the rumour that he was planning to become the Acting President or instigating the Senate against the Presidency.

According to The Nation, Osinbajo had earlier held a meeting with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Oyegun on Wednesday night.

A source said, “The APC National chairman came at a time the Acting President was about to have a meeting with a select group of government officials. He was asked to join the meeting, which bordered on the battle line drawn by the Senate.

“During the session, the APC National chairman said he had interacted with Saraki and advised the Senate leadership and Senators to ‘lie low’ and avoid anything capable that was capable of plunging the nation into crisis.

“Oyegun also said the APC could not understand why the party in power would be in opposition against itself.

“No one can say if Oyegun’s intervention was responsible for the visit of the Senate President to Osinbajo.”
