Vice President Yemi Osinbajo Monday held a private meeting with former Chairman of Senate Committee on Works in the 7th Senate, Senator Ayogu Eze, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Senator Eze arrived at the Villa at about 2 p.m., accompanied by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang.
Eze, who was the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, senator representing Enugu North from 2007 to 2015, aspired for the ticket of the PDP to run for the governorship position in Enugu State in 2015.
He lost to the eventual winner and present governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
Last week, Ayogu Eze had defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and his visit to the Villa Monday followed his defection to the APC.
