APC is making a last-ditch effort to halt the defections, as more of its members in the two chambers of the National Assembly are weighing up their political futures.

Earlier on Wednesday night, President Muhammadu Buhari held a rare meeting at the Presidential Villa with APC senators.

However, 14 senators, including Senate President Bukola Saraki, were absent at the meeting.
