Governors elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), on Tuesday night, held a meeting behind closed doors in Abuja.
The meeting of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) was held after they met with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
It was gathered that the APC governors met at the Kebbi governor’s lodge to deliberate on the party’s presidential primaries slated for June 6 to 8.
Further details on the meeting, however, remain sketchy as of press time.
