President Bola Tinubu met with six governors from the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the State House in Abuja on Monday. The closedādoor meeting, held in the Presidentās 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 Tinubuās declaration of a nationwide security emergency on NovemberāÆ26, which directed security agencies to prioritise school safety and urged governors to strengthen local earlyāwarning systems.
The closedādoor talks underscore the Presidentās effort to coordinate a unified response to the countryās security challenges, especially in the NorthāWest and NorthāCentral regions
