Speculations suggest that their visit to the Villa was connected to a gathering of the Nigeria Police Council, a constitutional body responsible for the organization and administration of the Nigeria Police Force.

Led by President Bola Tinubu, the Council is comprised of the governors from each state of the Federation, the Chairman of the Police Service Commission, and the Inspector-General of Police.
