TVCNews has received a statement from the Chief Whip of the House, Muhammed Monguno, that the President has changed his mind.

He said it was widely believed that Buhari had changed his mind because of allegations that he would be abused by lawmakers from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

PDP lawmakers held a closed-door meeting on Tuesday night, the outcome of the meeting is, however, not yet made public yet.

We reported earlier that Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged President Buhari to snub the invitation of the National Assembly.
