President Bola Tinubu on Monday afternoon met behind closed-doors with six governors elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the State House, Abuja.
The progressive governors present at the meeting include Monday Okpebholo (Edo), Nasir Idris (Kebbi), Umar Namadi (Jigawa), Biodun Oyebanji (Ekiti), Aliyu Sokoto (Sokoto) and Usman Ododo (Kogi).
The purpose of the meeting which lasted for about two hours in the first floor office of the President was not immediately known, and details of the agenda were not disclosed at press time.
Although no Presidency official was forthcoming on 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.
Already, All Progressives Congress has
scheduled its national caucus and National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings for next week at the Banquet hall of the State House, Abuja.
The governors declined comments when approached by newsmen shortly before departing the State House.
