According to the statement, two of the members-elect were in Saudi Arabia for Holy pilgrimage, while one had sent apology due to ill health.
“The meeting was a huge success as all the members-elect not only reiterated their unflinching support for the project, but also tried to convince other four members-elect of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the APC.
“The caucus meeting was chaired by a 4th term member of the house, Rep. Garba Datti Mohammad,” the statement quoted the Rep. members-elect as saying.
