Buhari, APC Caucus Meet In Aso Rock

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday night met behind closed doors with the All Progressives Congress, APC, Caucus at the Presidential Villa Abuja.

The meeting is expected to deliberate on some issues causing crisis in the party.

The meeting also holds a day before the NEC of the party.

Some vacant positions yet to be filled include the National Auditor, a position held by Mr. George Moghalu, who was recently appointed as the Managing Director, National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA); Deputy Vice Chairman, South, a position held by Chief Niyi Adebayo, who is now the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment; and the position of National Secretary, which was previously held by Mr. Mai Mala Buni, the Yobe State governor.
