ABUJA – The fence-mending parley between the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun and the leadership and members of the National Assembly caucus of the party has now been shifted to Wednesday, Vanguard has learned.

The meeting was originally scheduled to hold today (Monday).

Although, no official reason was given for the postponement, top-level party insiders told Vanguard that the meeting had to be shifted because the chairman had had a “very busy weekend”.

One of the sources said, “the chairman only returned to Abuja this (Monday) afternoon having had a very busy weekend schedule in Lagos. So, both sides felt it was better to allow the chairman and his team some rest before engaging him in another round of marathon meetings with the leadership and caucuses in the two chambers”.

Vanguard recalls that since the June 5, 2015 inauguration of the National Assembly and the emergency of its leadership in controversial circumstances, this is the first time that the party’s national chairman would be engaging the party’s lawmakers at such level.
