Senate: Osinbajo In Closed-Door Meeting With Ali Ndume

The Vice-President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo on Monday met behind closed doors with Sen. Ali Ndume at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the senator arrived at the
villa at about 3:20 pm and went straight to the vice-president’s office
for the meeting.

The agenda of the meeting was unknown to State House correspondents.

NAN,
however, learnt that it was not unconnected with the forthcoming
election of a new leadership for the ninth National Assembly (NASS).

The
national leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had
earlier enjoined all APC members-elect in the national assembly to
support the party’s choice candidates for the leadership positions.

The
party has endorsed the candidature of Sen. Ahmed Lawan for the seat of
Senate President and Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila for the position of Speaker
of the House Representatives.

But Sen. Ndume has continued to insist to contest for the seat of senate president.
