President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has held a closed-door meeting with six governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the State House, Abuja.
The purpose of the meeting was not immediately clear, and details of the agenda were not disclosed at press time, reports The Nation.
Those in attendance include the governors of Jigawa (Umar Namadi), Edo (Monday Okpebholo), Ekiti (Biodun Oyebanji), Kogi (Usman Ododo), Sokoto (Aliyu Sokoto) and Kebbi (Dr Nasir Idris) states.
The meeting, which lasted less than an hour was held in the president’s office.
Although no official of the presidency has proffered a hint of the reason for the meeting, it came amid recent mounting security challenges facing the nation.
It has also coincided with ongoing national political consultations and preparations ahead of key party and governance engagements.
When approached by journalists for comments, the governors declined to speak.
