President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to host a meeting this evening with governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the State House in Abuja.
The high-level gathering, scheduled to begin at 7:00 pm in the State House conference hall, will bring together members of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF), the collective body of APC governors.
The meeting comes just hours ahead of the APC National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, which is scheduled for Thursday at 2:00 pm in the State House Banquet Hall.

Imo Governor and PGF Chairman Hope Uzodimma is expected to lead his 23 other colleagues to the meeting, which sources describe as “crucial,” given recent developments within the ruling party.
As of press time, Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos) and Biodun Oyebanji (Ekiti) had arrived at the venue ahead of their counterparts.
The President is expected to brief the Governors on the Federal Government’s current policy direction as well as the party’s internal agenda, including a possible consensus on a new substantive APC National Chairman following the resignation of Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje last month.
The outcome of tonight’s session is likely to shape Thursday’s NEC proceedings, where key party leadership decisions are anticipated.
