President Bola Tinubu had a closed-door meeting with former governors of Rivers and Kaduna states, Nyesom Wike and Nasir el-Rufai respectively, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Both former governors are President Tinubu’s ministerial nominees and were both screened by the Senate. However, while Wike scaled the Senate screening hurdle, El-Rufai’s nomination is yet to be passed. Wike arrived at the villa at about 1:40 pm, and El-Rufai arrived at about 2pm.
