President Bola Tinubu, on Friday, welcomed his fellow 1999 set of governors to the Presidential Villa in Abuja in what is seen as a strategic political engagement.
Led by former Delta State Governor, James Ibori, the group comprising leaders who were elected at the dawn of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic met behind closed doors with the President.
While the details of their discussions were not made public at the time of filing this report, the visit is believed to be part of ongoing consultations between Tinubu and influential political figures across the country.
The Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, confirmed the visit in a post shared via his X handle on Friday.
President Tinubu, who served as the Governor of Lagos State from 1999 to 2007, was a prominent member of the 1999 class that helped shape the early years of Nigeria’s current democratic era.
More updates are expected as the meeting progresses….
