Tinubu, Akpabio In Closed-Door Meeting

President Bola Tinubu and the Senate President Godswill Akpabio

President Bola Tinubu is meeting with Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, at his official residence at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.

PUNCH Online observed Akpabio’s motorcade stationed outside of the premises on Wednesday evening.

Other vehicles were also spotted entering the Villa but the occupants could not be identified as the residence is out of reach for journalists.

The meeting comes just hours after the Senate on Wednesday summoned intelligence chiefs to investigate allegations made by United States Congressman, Perry Scott, that the United States Agency for International Development has been funding terrorist organisations, including Boko Haram.

The resolution followed an Order of Urgent National Security raised under Order 41 by Senator Mohammed Ndume, representing Borno South Senatorial District.

Speaking at Wednesday’s plenary session, Akpabio said Nigeria won’t allow the USAID to continue operating in Nigeria if found guilty of sponsoring terrorism.

He maintained that it is important for Nigeria to ascertain the veracity of the allegation.
