President Bola Tinubu is set to convene a meeting today with governors from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The meeting, reportedly scheduled to take place at the State House, will be led by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma, recently elected Chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum.

This gathering marks the first official meeting between President Tinubu and the APC governors since his inauguration earlier this week.

Among the attendees, nine governors are newly elected, while the other 11 are returning to their positions.

A reliable source familiar with the planned meeting revealed that the agenda would cover topics such as the selection of National Assembly leadership positions, ministerial appointments, and the overall direction of the government.

It is understood that many of the governors, who have already identified preferred candidates from their respective states, will seize this opportunity to present their choices to the president.

President Tinubu has pledged to ensure the inclusion of all stakeholders in his government formation process.

Additionally, discussions are expected to touch on the current state of affairs following the removal of fuel subsidy.

It is anticipated that the president will share his administration’s strategies for addressing the effects of the subsidy removal, considering that petrol prices have surged to as high as N750 per litre nationwide.
