Tinubu Meets APC Governors at Presidential Villa Amidst 2027 Election Preparations

President Bola Tinubu is currently engaged in a meeting with governors elected under the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. The gathering, which began shortly before 4:00 PM on Thursday, follows a separate session the governors had with Vice President Kashim Shettima as part of the National Economic Council.

As of the time of reporting, the meeting was ongoing, and the specific agenda remains undisclosed. This high-level consultation between the president and state governors from the ruling party takes place within a significant political context.

The engagement comes just eight days after the official commencement of campaigns for the 2027 general election, adhering to the timetable set by the Independent National Electoral Commission. Furthermore, it follows closely on the heels of the APC officially releasing the list of members for its Presidential Campaign Council, which will be led by former Zamfara State Governor, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, as Director-General.
