A scheduled meeting between Senate President, Bukola Saraki, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, John Oyegun, and members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), has been cancelled.

Media aide of the Senate President, Bamikole Omishore, had sent out a message at 12:25, saying: “‎His Excellency, Distinguished Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, will be at APC party secretariat at 12:45 to meet chairman and NWC. Press, please take note.”

However, minutes later, the media aide sent out a rather brief message, saying: “Apologies, meeting has been cancelled.”

Although details of what was to be discussed in the meeting was not disclosed, it is believed that it was meant to resolve the brewing crisis in the APC, following the emergence of Saraki as President of the Senate, against the party’s wishes.
