President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently having a meeting with the class of governors he served alongside in 1999.

The meeting, which started a few minutes ago inside the council chambers of the Presidential Villa, has in attendance former state governors Obong Victor Attah (Akwa Ibom), James Ibori (Delta), Orji Uzor Kalu (Abia), Lucky Igbinedion (Edo), Jolly Nyame (Taraba), Attahiru Bafarawa (Sokoto), Joshua Dariye (Plateau), Bisi Akande (Osun), and Ahmed Markafi (Kaduna), among others.
