The national working committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led by its chairman, Adams Oshiomhole had a meeting at the Sheraton Hotel on Tuesday, August 14.
The committee met with the National Assembly APC caucus members to strategise towards reconvening the two chambers of the legislature which has been on recess.
However, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, who is rumoured to be making plans of defecting to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party was visibly absent at the meeting.
