President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday held separate closed-door meetings with senior political figures and government officials at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Among those who visited the President were the member representing Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency of Kano State in the House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado Doguwa; Senate President Godswill Akpabio; and the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola.
Doguwa was sighted arriving at the corridor leading to the President’s office at about 7:15 p.m., shortly after Oyetola arrived at the Villa.
Akpabio had earlier arrived at the forecourt of the President’s office at about 6:12 p.m., while the Minister of Information and National Orientation was already meeting with Tinubu.
Oyetola’s visit came shortly after his successor as Osun State governor, Ademola Adeleke, was declared winner of the August 15 governorship election.
The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, was also seen at the Presidential Villa within the same period, ahead of the Federal Executive Council meeting scheduled for Wednesday.
The details of the meetings were not immediately made public as of the time of filing this report.
The series of visits also came a day before the Independent National Electoral Commission’s scheduled commencement of official campaigns for the 2027 general elections on August 19, 2026.
The political significance of the meetings could not be immediately ascertained, as neither the Presidency nor the visitors disclosed the issues discussed.
