President Bola Tinubu and Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) held a closed door meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Thursday.
The meeting comes with the tension in government around the planned nationwide protest over the hunger and high cost of living.
Recall that President Tinubu had asked those planning to protest to shelve the idea and await his government’s response to their grievances.
Following the closed-door meeting of the Progressives Governors’ Forum (PGF) in Abuja, last night, their Chairman and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, had said they were inviting the organizers of the planned protest to discuss the issue and what their grievances are.
He said, “We don’t know what they are protesting for. We invite all of them to sit down with us in a room so we can discuss and agree on the issues, what they are and proffer solutions.
“We as a body, we are committed to the unity of the country, we are committed to whatever thing that makes Nigerians live better lives, bring prosperity, jobs to be created for young boys and girls who graduated to be employed.”
Meanwhile, the Governors who arrived in the Villa in a Bus were immediately ushered into the President’s office.
