Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo addressed Thursday why he missed the APC national caucus meeting in Abuja.
On Wednesday, APC leaders and members met at the State House in Abuja without ex-President Muhammadu Buhari or Osinbajo.
The two men missed Thursday’s NEC meeting in Abuja’s Transcorp Hilton Hotel.
On Wednesday, his media assistant, Garba Shehu, said the former president skipped the meeting owing to a prior engagement.
According to his spokesman, Osinbajo was out of Nigeria for long-standing engagements at the time of the meeting.
The statement read: “In a letter of apology for his absence submitted to the Acting Chairman of the party (Abubakar Kyari), the former VP indicated that he was already abroad on long-term engagements when he received the invitation to the meeting.
“He had actually cancelled some of his activities abroad to be available for the two party caucus sessions that had to be postponed owing to exigencies.
He pledged his loyalty to the party and offered to attend future meetings and events.
