Tinubu meets APC governors ahead of NEC meeting ‎

President Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday night, met with governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

‎The meeting comes ahead of Thursday’s APC National Executive Committee (NEC) session at the State House.

‎Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, who chairs the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), led his colleagues to the closed-door meeting.

‎Speaking to State House correspondents shortly after the meeting, Uzodimma said the meeting was aimed at strengthening the party and enhancing its capacity to deliver good governance to Nigerians.

Uzodimma disclosed that the governors, as sub-national leaders, met to align with Tinubu on party direction and governance priorities.

He said: “We are here to discuss the upcoming NEC meeting of our party tomorrow (Thursday), and to also share some ideas with Mr. President on how best to strengthen our party at the grassroots, at the local government, at the state level, up to the national level.

“So it’s just a convivial discussion with Mr. President towards strengthening our party and to be able to help serve Nigeria better.”

‎When asked about potential outcomes of the NEC meeting, Uzodimma said: “We can’t predict anything until we get there tomorrow (Thursday).”

‎The NEC meeting is expected to address key party issues and outline strategies for unity and effective leadership.

‎Also, the issue of a new substantive APC National Chairman is expected to be resolved, following the resignation of Abdullahi Ganduje in June.
