President Bola Tinubu met with six governors from the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the State House in Abuja on Monday. The closed‑door meeting, held in the President’s office, included Governors Umar Namadi (Jigawa), Monday Okpebholo (Edo), Biodun Oyebanji (Ekiti), Usman Ododo (Kogi), Aliyu Sokoto (Sokoto) and Nasir Idris (Kebbi). After the session, the governors declined to speak with State House correspondents.
While the agenda was not disclosed, the talks are believed to have centred on the rising insecurity, kidnapping and banditry affecting several states. The meeting follows Tinubu’s declaration of a nationwide security emergency on November 26, which directed security agencies to prioritise school safety and urged governors to strengthen local early‑warning systems.
The closed‑door talks underscore the President’s effort to coordinate a unified response to the country’s security challenges, especially in the North‑West and North‑Central regions
