Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently meeting with governors elected under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The meeting, originally scheduled to hold at 4 p.m. in the Council Chamber, experienced a change in venue and commenced at approximately 5 p.m. in the Conference Room of the President’s Office.
Several governors are in attendance, including Babagana Zulum of Borno State, Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State, Hyacinth Alia of Benue State, Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti State, Peter Mbah of Enugu State, and AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State, among others.
In cases where governors were unavailable, deputy governors represented their respective states.
As of the time of reporting, the purpose of the meeting has not been officially disclosed.
The gathering follows closely on the heels of a separate closed-door meeting between the president and the extended leadership of the Senate held on Wednesday evening.
At that earlier meeting, Senate Majority Leader Opeyemi Bamidele indicated that “far-reaching decisions were taken” on “matters of urgent national importance.”
He explained that those decisions stemmed from a resolution adopted during a closed executive session of the Senate earlier the same day.
The back-to-back high-level engagements suggest ongoing consultations at the highest levels of government, although details of the discussions remain undisclosed.
