Senate President Bukola Saraki is
not among the members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the ongoing
national executive council meeting of the ruling party.
The number three citizen was also
absent on Monday night when President Muhammadu Buhari hosted the APC caucus at
the presidential villa in Abuja.
The meetings, which Saraki has
missed for the second time in a row, are strategic to the forthcoming election.
On Monday, the president told top
members of the party to prepare for the 2019 elections. He also thanked them
for standing by him “despite the antics of the opposition”.
Governors, ministers and top
members of the ruling party are at the meeting holding at the headquarters of
the APC in Abuja.
But Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the
house of representatives, is not also at the meeting as Buhari had taken his
seat at the time speaker arrived.
By protocol, all guest ought to
have been seated before the arrival of the president.
Earlier in the day, Saraki was at
the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), where his trial was adjourned following a
complaint by Kanu Agabi, his counsel.
Dino Melaye, senator representing
Kogi west, accompanied him to the tribunal
