President Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday evening held a closed-door meeting with governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC ahead of the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the party scheduled for today.
Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, Hope Uzodimma; Governor Babajide Sanwo‑Olu of Lagos; Governor Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti; and Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun were among those who arrived early for the meeting held at the presidential banquet hall of the Aso Rock Villa.
Wednesday’s meeting provided opportunity for Tinubu to brief the APC governors on his position ahead of the NEC meeting.
The meeting was held hours before the APC NEC meeting scheduled for 2pm on Thursday, at the State House Conference Centre.
The NEC meeting was initially planned to be held at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
Among the issues discussed is the emergence of a substantive APC National Chairman to replace Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, who resigned last month citing health reasons.
Deputy National Chairman, Ali Dalori, has since stepped in as acting National Chairman of the party (APC).
