Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) met behind closed doors on Thursday night at the Council Chamber of the Kebbi State Government House, Birnin Kebbi.
Naijaonpoint reports that the meeting, which was chaired by the Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, focused on pressing national issues and internal matters affecting the ruling party.
Although the APC National Chairman, Dr Nentawe Yilwatda, was in Kebbi State, he did not participate in the meeting.
Channels Television reported on Friday that Yilwatda’s itinerary included other engagements in the state.
In a statement announcing his arrival, Yilwatda disclosed that apart from the PGF meeting, he would also attend the inauguration of the Tinubu Kauran Gwandu Movement for Continuity State Secretariat.
Yilwatda said, “Over the next two days, APC governors will engage in closed-door sessions to deliberate on critical national and party matters.
“As a party, we remain committed to the unity, good governance, and the vision of the Renewed Hope for all Nigerians.”
Naijaonpoint understands that the APC Governors’ meeting comes at a time when the rank of the party’s governors forum keeps increasing due to the defection of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors to the ruling party.
The Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, this week joined the list of APC governors, while Governor Douye Diri, who also dumped PDP, is projected to join the ruling party in the near future.
