  • President Bola Tinubu met with 31 governors from his All Progressives Congress (APC) party at the State House in Abuja.
  • The meeting occurred shortly after the National Economic Council session and ahead of the 2027 general elections.
  • The agenda was undisclosed, but the meeting is speculated to be related to the upcoming general elections and recent campaign council appointments.

President Bola Tinubu convened a meeting with 31 governors elected under the All Progressives Congress (APC) banner at the State House in Abuja on Thursday. The governors, who form the Progressives Governors’ Forum (PGF), gathered for a closed-door session in the Council Chambers.

The meeting followed an earlier National Economic Council (NEC) session, chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima, which the governors also attended. While the specific agenda for the meeting with President Tinubu remained undisclosed at the time of reporting, speculation suggests it may be linked to the upcoming 2027 general elections.

This gathering comes approximately one week after official campaign activities for the 2027 general election commenced, following the timetable released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). It also follows closely on the heels of the ruling APC unveiling its Presidential Campaign Council membership, appointing former Zamfara State Governor, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, as Director-General and Governor Hope Uzodimma as Secretary.
