President Bola Tinubu and All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors are currently holding a closed door meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
It was learnt that the meeting is on the efforts by the government to abort the planned nationwide protest.
Since it became a nationwide talk, the government has been evolving measures to pacify aggrieved Nigerians.
President Tinubu had asked those planning to protest to abort the plan and await his government’s response to their grievances.
The Progressives Governors’ Forum (PGF) in Abuja, last night, held a meeting where their Chairman and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, had said they were inviting the organizers of the planned protest to discuss the issue and what their grievances are.
He said, “We don’t know what they are protesting for. We invite all of them to sit down with us in a room so we can discuss and agree on the issues, what they are and proffer solutions.
“We as a body, we are committed to the unity of the country, we are committed to whatever thing that makes Nigerians live better lives, bring prosperity, jobs to be created for young boys and girls who graduated to be employed.” He said.
Meanwhile, the Governors who arrived in the Villa in a Bus were immediately ushered into the President’s office.
Among those sighted were Hope Uzodimma (Imo), Uba Sani, (Kaduna), and Bassey Otu, (Cross River).
