Tinubu meets APC Governors at Presidential Villa

President Bola Tinubu is currently meeting with governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The meeting, involving members of the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF), commenced shortly before 4pm on Thursday, following a separate session of the National Economic Council (NEC) chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima.

As of the time of filing this report, the meeting was still ongoing, with details of the agenda yet to be made public.

The engagement comes amid heightened political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections, eight days after the official commencement of campaigns in line with the timetable released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

It also comes five days after the APC released the list of members of its Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 elections.

The campaign council is headed by former Zamfara State Governor, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, who was appointed Director-General.

The meeting between Tinubu and the APC governors is expected to provide an opportunity for discussions on political coordination, mobilisation and other issues concerning the party ahead of the 2027 elections.

The Progressives Governors Forum has remained a key platform for coordination among APC governors, while the President has continued to engage party leaders and elected officials as the party prepares for the elections.
