Vice President Yemi Osinbajo presided over a meeting of the APC Legal Team and some senior lawyers in the Buhari administration regarding legal representation for the ruling party in the 2023 general elections.
The legal team came to seek the Osinbajo’s counsel and held a brainstorming session, which held at the Presidential Villa after the weekly FEC meeting.
The meeting was attended by the two Ministers who are Senior Advocates of Nigeria: Mr. Babatunde Fashola and Mr. Festus Keyamo.
The current APC National Legal Adviser Barr. Ahmed El-Marzuk and his predecessor, Mr. Babatunde Ogala, SAN, were also in attendance among other party and government officials seen at the Villa today.
State House correspondents saw the attendees at the Vice President’s wing of the Presidential Villa but none of them spoke to the press.
A reliable source said the APC legal team came to discuss planning and reviewing the party’s preparedness for the forthcoming elections with the Vice President.
APC and other major parties are fielding candidates for more than 1400 elective positions in the upcoming general elections, which will take place later this month across the nation.
