President Bola Tinubu on Friday, July 25, received members of the 1999 class of governors at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The delegation, made up of former state governors who were first elected when Nigeria returned to democratic rule in 1999, was led by ex-Delta State governor James Ibori.
Though the exact content of their discussions was not made public, the meeting is believed to be part of Tinubu’s continued consultations with influential political figures across the country.
