Tinubu, APC Governors Meet as Jittery FG Struggles to Stop Nationwide #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria Protest

In a bid to address the rising tensions and avert a nationwide protest, President Bola Tinubu and Governors from the All Progressives Congress (APC) convened a closed-door meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Sources close to the discussions indicate that the meeting is focused on the government’s strategy to prevent the planned nationwide protest. This comes as the government ramps up efforts to address the grievances of Nigerians.

In response to the announced protest, President Tinubu has urged the organizers to reconsider and give his administration time to address their concerns.

Following a recent closed-door session of the Progressives Governors’ Forum (PGF) in Abuja, the Forum’s Chairman and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, revealed their approach to the situation. “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,” Uzodimma stated. He emphasized the Forum’s dedication to national unity and improving the quality of life for Nigerians, particularly in terms of job creation and prosperity.

Governors arrived at the Presidential Villa in a bus and were swiftly ushered into President Tinubu’s office. Notable attendees included Hope Uzodimma (Imo), Uba Sani (Kaduna), and Bassey Otu (Cross River).
