Estate, Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital, to consult with Obasanjo
over the 8th Senate and other national issues .
Saraki was elected Senate President unopposed last June 9 by 57
out of the 108 senators in a manner his party deemed a betrayal ,
treachery and unacceptable.

swearing – in lasted at the Senate Chamber , 51 senators mainly
APC members, including Senator Ahmed Lawan , were absent.

governor has been working to assure his disatisfied party leaders
and members of his commitment to APC on one hand, and quality
legislation for Nigerians on the other hand.
On Friday morning, Saraki arrived Obasanjo ’s home by 9 :11 am
and proceeded quickly to the ex – President ’s inner chamber for
private discussions .
In his entourage are Kawu Baraje , Andy Uba , former Governor of
Zamfara state, Senator Sanni Yerima , former Governor of Osun
state, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola , Danjuma Goje and Senator
Alaso Adura.

revolve how Saraki can foster unity in the 8th Senate, make peace
with the APC leaders among others issues .
