Former President Muhammadu Buhari has explained his absence at the All Progressives Congress (APC) caucus and National Executive Council meetings.
Naija News earlier reported that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will host some APC stalwarts including former President Buhari, former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Senate President Senator Godswill Akpabio; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, and other heavyweight members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the party’s National Caucus meeting.
It was gathered that the APC caucus meeting is scheduled to hold at the New Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa at 6 pm. 
Other APC bigwigs expected to attend are Vice President Kashim Shettima, APC governors, former Senate president Ahmad Lawan and ex-Speaker of House of Representatives Femi Gbajabiamila, and members of the National Working Committee.
But, Osinbajo in an apology letter addressed to the APC acting National Chairman said he was already abroad for another engagement, hence won’t be available for the party’s caucus meeting.
Also Buhari, in a statement by his media aide, Garba Shehu, said he won’t attend the meetings due to other commitments.
The statement read: “Former President Muhammadu Buhari has explained his inability to be present at the caucus meeting and the National Executive Committee, NEC, meetings of the All Progressives Congress, APC to which he has been invited and has conveyed his apologies, indicating that he is unable to attend due to commitments earlier made.
“Muhammadu Buhari used the opportunity to express his support and commitment to the party, at the same time wishing it a good meeting as the leaders take decisions on issues of importance to the party and the nation.”
