President Muhammadu Buhari met with Senators of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who are aggrieved over the outcome of the recent primaries of the party.
The president assured the senators that justice will prevail.
Buhari gave the assurance when some APC senators, about 22 of them, paid him a visit at the State House, Abuja, on Tuesday.
He beseeched the senators to exercise patience and to refrain from making any decision that could hurt the party.
“I have noted your grievances particularly as it concerns the just concluded processes. The cost to the nation, the threat to the majority of positions held by our party in the legislative chambers and likely consequent causes to the electoral fortune of the party as we approach the General elections. We must not allow these dire threats to come to pass,” Buhari said.
The lawmakers, who were led by the Senate Chief Whip, Orji Uzor Kalu, had vowed to defect from the party over the outcome of primaries in their states, ahead of the 2023 general elections.
They said they felt disenfranchised by the process.
