President Bola Tinubu held a meeting with All Progressives Congress (APC) governors at the State House in Abuja. The gathering, initially scheduled for 4pm in the council chamber, began around 5pm after being relocated to the conference room of the presidential office. Governors in attendance included Babagana Zulum of Borno, Hope Uzodimma of Imo, Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe, Hyacinth Alia of Benue, Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti, Peter Mbah of Enugu, and AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara. Several states sent their deputy governors as representatives. No official statement has been released on the meeting's discussions. This comes hours after Tinubu held an emergency closed-door session with Senate leadership on Wednesday. Senate Majority Leader Opeyemi Bamidele said far-reaching decisions were taken on urgent national matters, following resolutions from an earlier closed executive session of the Senate. The APC governors' meeting occurs just three weeks before the party's scheduled primary elections ahead of the 2027 polls. Speculation is growing that the meeting's focus may have been on party primaries and electoral strategy.
