The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity Malam Garba Shehu, said in a statement yesterday that the meeting would hold at the New Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja at 5.00pm.
Shehu did not disclose the agenda for the meeting, and merely said “this is not a meeting with any faction of the House. It is a meeting of all APC members in the House with Mr President”.
The House has not known peace since the election of Yakubu Dogara as the Speaker.
Dogara is of the majority APC but he was elected mainly with the support of the opposition PDP. He defeated Femi Gbajabiamila, who was nominated for the post by the APC.
All attempts by the House to sit on three occasions ended in fiasco. The House will reconvene tomorrow after a five-month adjournment.
On Friday Gbajabiamila met with the President Buhari at the State House in Abuja.
He, however, refused to speak to State House reporters on what he discussed with the president, saying that he was in a hurry to meet the national chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
