President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, state governors, and other key stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) attended the party’s National Caucus meeting on Tuesday night at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
This marks the first such meeting since Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023. It precedes the APC National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for today at the party headquarters.
Discussions at the caucus meeting reportedly included the timetable for a non-elective convention, ongoing party litigations, and the establishment of The Progressive Institute (TPI), a policy think tank for the APC.
The meeting follows recent criticism from former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, who accused the party leadership of failing to uphold its progressive ideals.
Among those in attendance were Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, House Speaker Tajudeen Abbas, and APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje. Several APC governors, including Hope Uzodinma (Imo), Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), and Babagana Zulum (Borno), were also present, along with founding national chairman Chief Bisi Akande.
