Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar was conspicuously absent at the All Progressives Congress (APC) caucus meeting which was presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the new Banquet Hall, Aso Rock, Abuja on Monday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), however, gathered that the Turakin Adamawa might have travelled out of the country.

NAN reports that the meeting which started at about 8.45pm was attended by the newly appointed Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha.

Some participants at the meeting were seen “struggling’’ for photo opportunity with the new SGF.

Others attending the meeting include Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, the APC national Chairman, John Odigie Oyegun, Bola Tinubu, cabinet ministers and presidential aides.

The meeting was also attended by governors of Plateau, Adamawa, Bauchi, Sokoto, Niger, Kogi, Jigawa, Benue, Ondo, Oyo, Ogun, Kebbi, Nasarawa as well as deputy governors of Kwara and Yobe states.
