Senate President Bukola Saraki
was conspicuously absent at the meeting the All Progressive Congress (APC)
caucus in the senate had with President Muhammmadu Buhari on Wednesday night.
Ahmad Lawan, senate majority
leader, led his colleagues to the meeting, which had Adams Oshiomhole, national
chairman of the party; Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the
federation; Abba Kyari, chief of staff to the president in attendance.
Lanre Tejuosho, senator
representing Ogun central, was also at the meeting.
He is among those listed to have
defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The senators who visited Buhari
introduced themselves. When it got to the turn of Tejuoso, he added: “Mr.
President, your son is back home.”
This elicited laughter among his
colleagues and the president.
However, Tejuosho made it clear
that he was still making consultations on which political party to align
himself with.
