According to Punch, the APC leader said: “I have no comment, I have no reaction.”
The party had chosen Senator Ahmed Lawan as its sole candidate for the Senate Presidency but Saraki went ahead to contest and won.
The peace meeting was called by President Muhammadu Buhari to settle the crisis within the party caused by the choice of National Assembly leaders.

Saraki however shunned the meeting and went for the inauguration of the 8th Senate, where he was elected, instead.
Buhari was also absent from the meeting.
