President Bola Tinubu is currently holding a meeting with All Progressives Congress (APC) governors at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. The meeting, which started shortly after 1 pm, comes amid growing calls for nationwide protests against economic hardship.
Although the agenda of Thursday’s meeting is undisclosed, it is likely related to the planned protests scheduled for August 1-10, organized under the hashtag ‘EndBadGovernance.’ These protests have gained significant traction on social media despite the anonymity of the organizers.
This meeting follows a conclave of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum on Wednesday night and the last-minute cancellation of the National Economic Council meeting earlier scheduled for noon Thursday. National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu and Ministers of Finance and Budget & Economic Planning Wale Edun and Abubakar Bagudu were also in attendance. Further details are expected.
