President Bola Tinubu on Friday received members of the 1999 class of governors at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Led by former Delta State governor James Ibori, the delegation comprised those who emerged as governors at the start of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic in 1999. Though the specifics of their meeting were not made public, the visit is believed to be part of Tinubu’s continued consultations with prominent political figures.
Dada Olusegun, the President’s Special Assistant on Social Media, confirmed the development via his verified X account. The 1999 governors are regarded as pivotal figures in Nigeria’s post-military democratic history, having significantly influenced the political direction of the country over the past two decades.
The meeting is the latest in a string of strategic engagements by President Tinubu as he works to solidify political alliances and build consensus ahead of crucial national decisions.
