Members of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum under the leadership of its Chairman and Governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq; All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders from Oyo State, including its governorship candidate, Sharafadeen Alli, as well as APC candidates for the House of Representatives and State House of Assembly from Lagos State, also visited the president.

He commissioned three Nigerian Naval vessels – NNS Oloibiri, NNS Mambila, and NNS Gurara – on the occasion.
On the same day, Tinubu also received the President of Benin Republic, Romuald Wadagni, in a meeting that “reinforced the longstanding bond of friendship, regional cooperation, and economic partnership between the neighbouring countries.”
