Why APC Senators Met With Oyegun-led NWC

Leader of the Senate Ahmed Lawan has disclosed that senators of the All Progressives Congress (APC) met with the John Odigie-Oyegun led National Working Committee (NWC) to deliberate on ‘happenings’ within the party.

Lawan revealed this to newsmen after the meeting which held at the Hearing Room One of the senate.

He said: “The All Progressives Congress (APC) visited us this afternoon and we held about three-hour meeting and this is simply the father visiting his family.

“You know that the senate has APC majority and the APC National Working Committee wanted to have an interaction with APC senate caucus and it was a big privilege for all of us and an opportunity as well to discuss with our leaders.

“The purpose of that meeting was to review the happenings in the party across the country at all levels of government.

“We as members of the National Assembly would remain and continue to be committed to ensuring that we continue to support the change agenda of this current administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari.

“The party is the platform for all of us (legislature and executive). For in my view, the party has done so well by coming. Senators took turns to express the ways out of some of the issues that are bedeviling this party. I believe that it was worthwhile and a very frank discussion.”

The lawmaker also said that the lawmakers and the NWC agreed to set up a team, to interface among the various interests within the party.
