BREAKING: Tinubu meets governors in Aso Villa

President Bola Tinubu is currently meeting with some governors at the presidential Villa in Abuja.

The meeting followed the calling off of the National Executive Council (NEC) that was earlier scheduled for Thursday.

The state chief executives were ferried in a single Coaster bus to president’s office at about 1.20 pm.

Even though the agenda of the meeting has not been made public, it may not be unconnected with the ongoing hardship in the country and efforts to ameliorate the situation.

The federal government is also striving to avert the planned protest by youths against the high cost of living.

The issue is likely to feature prominently in the meeting.

Among the governors sighted coming in for the meeting are the chairman of Progressives Governors Forum and Governor of Imo, Hope Uzodinma, and his counterparts from Kebbi, Kaduna, Benue, Jigawa, Ekiti, Ondo; the deputy governor of Nasarawa, among others.
