President Bola Tinubu is currently meeting with Governors from the All Progressives Congress under the aegis of the Progressives Governors Forum at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The meeting which began at minutes past 1 pm follows growing calls for nationwide protests against economic hardship.
Although the agenda of Thursday’s meeting is unknown, it may be connected to the planned protests scheduled for August 1 – 10.
The protests, organized under the hashtag ‘EndBadGovernance,’ have gained significant traction on social media even as the organizers remain largely anonymous, with no group officially claiming responsibility.
This meeting follows an earlier conclave of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum on Wednesday night. It comes after a last-minute cancellation of the National Economic Council meeting scheduled for noon Thursday.
Our correspondent also spotted the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, Ministers of Finance and Budget & Economic Planning, Wale Edun and Abubakar Bagudu, respectively.
