President Bola Tinubu is currently meeting with the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) at the State House, Abuja.
Although the agenda of the meeting could not be confirmed officially, it may not be unconnected to the planned nationwide protest on August 1.
The chairman of the PGF and the Imo state governor, Hope Uzodimma, led the team of governors to the President’s office, along with the chairman of Nigeria’s Governors Forum, Governor Abdulrazaq Abdulrahman of Kwara state.
Also sighted was the reinstated deputy governor of Edo State, Philip Shuaibu; Bassey Otu, (Cross River); Benue State Governor, Fr Hycinth Alia; Uba Sani of Kaduna State; Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi, amongst others.
Also spotted the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu and the Ministers of Finance and Budget & Economic Planning, Wale Edun and Abubakar Bagudu, respectively, arriving at the President’s office.
The ongoing meeting follows a previous gathering of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) held on Wednesday evening.
It comes after the cancellation of the National Economic Council (NEC) meeting that was scheduled for noon on Thursday.
