President Bola Tinubu is holding a closed-door meeting this Wednesday evening with governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the State House, Abuja.
The high-stakes gathering, taking place in the Conference Hall of the Presidential Villa, brings together members of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF), the umbrella body of APC governors.
The meeting is being held just hours before the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) session, scheduled for Thursday, July 24, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. in the State House Banquet Hall.
Chairman of the PGF and Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, is expected to lead his 23 APC governor colleagues to the meeting, which party insiders describe as “crucial” in light of recent developments within the ruling party.
As of press time, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji had already arrived at the venue ahead of their counterparts.
President Tinubu is expected to use the meeting to update the governors on key Federal Government policy directions and to brief them on the party’s internal agenda—particularly ongoing consultations around the emergence of a substantive APC National Chairman, following the resignation of Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje last month.
Tonight’s deliberations are expected to significantly shape the tone and outcome of Thursday’s NEC meeting, where major leadership and organisational decisions are anticipated.
