APC to Meet Senate Caucus On Tuesday Over Feud with Presidency

The APC National Working Committee (NWC) led by the party chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, and other members are expected to meet the Senate caucus of the party on Tuesday in Abuja to resolve the issues between the upper chamber and the Presidency.The moves to end the face-off between the Presidency and the Senate will continue this week with the leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) reaching out to the Senate caucus.The meeting, according to sources, will soften the ground for the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo-led committee raised by the Federal Executive Committee (FEC) to smoothen the relationship between the two feuding arms of government.The face-off had been triggered by the Senate’s non-confirmation of the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Magu, as well as the invitation of the Comptroller-General of the Customs, Colonel Hammed Ali (rtd), and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, by the lawmakers.Lawal had declined the Senate summons while Ali refused to wear the Customs’ uniform as mandated by the Senate.
