Tinubu, APC Govs meet as FG aims to halt nationwide protest
President Bola Tinubu is currently meeting with Governors from the All Progressives Congress (APC), under the aegis of the Progressives Governors Forum, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The meeting, which began shortly after 2 pm, follows increasing calls for nationwide protests against economic hardship.
Although the official agenda of Thursday’s meeting is undisclosed, it is likely connected to the planned protests scheduled for August 1-10.
The protests, organised under the hashtag ‘EndBadGovernance,’ have gained significant traction on social media even as the organisers remain largely anonymous, with no group officially claiming responsibility.
This meeting follows an earlier conclave of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum on Wednesday night and comes after a last-minute cancellation of the National Economic Council meeting earlier scheduled for noon Thursday.
