BEVERLY HILLS, September 21, (THEWILL) –Â Ali Modu Sheriff, former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and John Oyegun, Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), held a private meeting with Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at the presidential villa in Abuja on Thursday.
Sheriff, an ex-Governor of Borno state and a former Senator, arrived at the villa while Osinbajo was presiding over the economic management meeting and waited patiently until the Vice President rounded off around 4pm.
Osinbajo later gave audience to Oyegun and the former PDP leader who refused to speak with reporters at the end of the meeting which did not last up to an hour.
Although, he was among the founders of the APC, Sheriff later defected to the PDP, where he lost relevance after the Supreme Court declared Ahmed Makarfi, his rival, as the authentic Chairman of the party.
In the heat of the leadership crisis in the PDP, members of the party had accused the APC of using Sheriff to cause confusion in its party, an allegation which the ruling party denied.
