The meeting between President Bola Tinubu and members-elect of the coming House of Representatives in the opposition parties has been shifted to Thursday, The PUNCH has learnt.
However, a notice to members-elect, our correspondent sighted on Sunday, read, “This is to inform members-elect that the meeting with the President has been postponed till Thursday. Proper communication will be sent subsequently. Regards.”

Several aspirants for leadership positions in the Senate and the House have, however, kicked against the APC leadership zoning plan, vowing to go ahead and contest against the party’s chosen candidates.
