Buhari explains absence as Tinubu hosts Akpabio, Tajudeen, other APC stalwarts

Former President Muhammadu Buhari has explained his inability to be present at the caucus meeting and the National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Buhari, who was invited to the meeting by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, conveyed his apologies, indicating that he is unable to attend due to commitments earlier made.

He also used the opportunity to express his support and commitment to the APC, wishing it a good meeting as the leaders take decisions on issues of importance to the party and Nigeria at large.

This was disclosed in a tweet on Wednesday by Buhari’s former media aide, Garba Shehu.

DAILY POST reports that the APC caucus meeting, scheduled for 6 pm on Wednesday at the New Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, will be hosted by Tinubu.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas, and other heavyweight members of the APC are expected to be present at the meeting.
