The meeting was attended by bigwigs including the lawmaker representing Ezra South/Ikwo federal constituency Chinedu Ogah, Chairman of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission Elias Mbam,  State Chairman Senator Julius Ucha, Nwachukwu Eze and Senator Anthony Agbo, among others.

The Minister of Science and Technology, Ogbonnaya Onu, was, however, absent at the meeting.

“He did not give us the exact date he will officially defect but he was categorical that it will happen this week,” the source said.
