Vice President Namadi Sambo on Thursday evening met behind closed-doors with principal officers of the House of Representatives elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The meeting which took place at the Presidential Villa, Abuja held a few hours after the riotous situation which broke out while security operatives were preventing the Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal, from entering the National Assembly.
Sambo met with the lawmakers because President Goodluck Jonathan had travelled to London where he is expected to preside over a meeting of Nigeria’s Honorary International Investment Council.
The lawmakers were led to the meeting by the Deputy Speaker, Emeka Ihedioha.
Other lawmakers in the delegation were the House Leader, Mulikat Adeola-Akande; the Deputy House Leader, Leo Ogor; and the Chief Whip, Ishaku Bawa.
They arrived the Presidential Villa at about 5pm and left at about 6.15pm.
They did not speak with journalists after the meeting.
