He then wished the lawmakers who left the party well in their future endeavours.

The statement read, “President Buhari assured members of the APC of his total support and urged party faithful not to despair but to see the defections as a seasonal occurrence that happens on election eve.

“He expressed confidence that no harm or injury will be done to the party and its aspirations by the movements. President Buhari wished all the defected members the best in their future undertakings.”

Buhari also expressed his total commitment to the values of democracy, freedom of choice as well as total willingness to work with all members of the National Assembly, irrespective of their political party, for the benefit of the nation.

He noted that none of the defecting federal lawmakers had any specific grievances against him or his government.

APC pulled out a stunt by omitting The Senate’s President’s Name from membership list.

Members of the APC caucus held an emergency meeting shortly after the plenary. The meeting, which was held behind closed doors, lasted over two hours.

Rising from the meeting, the caucus, led by the Majority Leader, told journalists that the APC still maintained the majority in the Senate.

The caucus also provided a list of its members, with Saraki’s name conspicuously missing on it. The list also included names of lawmakers who had yet to declare their defection on the floor of the Senate.

Lawan however argued that the declaration could be made in the Senate or in the party. He said the APC senators were 52; PDP, 50; ADC, three; APGA, two; and vacant seats, two.

Lawan said, “The essence of this press briefing is to tell you that even though some of our colleagues have left, the APC remains the majority party in the Senate. The APC still controls the Senate in terms of numbers. In addition, we are still expecting some of our colleagues in the PDP – the original PDP – who have expressed their desire and willingness to move to the APC. And to our colleagues that have left, we are still optimistic that many of them, or all of them, will have a change of heart.”

Asked why Saraki’s name was omitted, Lawan said, “Well…let us be on the safe side. Until someone says he has consciously defected, that person remains (a member of) APC. In fact, that takes our number to 53 and reduces the number of the PDP to 49.”

Emefiele said the time had come for the banks to go out there and source for forex by funding entrepreneurs with ideas. The CBN, Emefiele said, will support the banks by granting rebates and other support until the banks find their feet in sourcing their forex by themselves.

He also disclosed that the apex bank’s policies and measures have led to a significant improvement in diaspora inflow from an average of US$6 million per week in December 2020 to an average of over US$100 million per week by January 2022. He added that the CBN would be reviewing these intervention programmes going forward to ensure that they continue to achieve the desired results.

He said international bodies, including some embassies and donor agencies, have been complicit in illegal forex transactions that have hindered the flow of foreign exchange into the country.
