BREAKING: Tinubu, APC govs, others in closed-door meeting over nationwide strike

President Bola Tinubu is currently meeting with governors from the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The meeting, under the aegis of the Progressives Governors Forum, commenced shortly after 1:00 PM.

This meeting comes amid increasing calls for nationwide protests against economic hardship.

Although the agenda of Thursday’s meeting is unknown, it may be 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.

Our correspondent also spotted the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, Ministers of Finance and Budget & Economic Planning, Wale Edun and Abubakar Bagudu, respectively.
