APC governors and President Tinubu are meeting privately to address and possibly prevent a planned nationwide protest from August 1-15, while Afenifere supports the protest, blaming Tinubu’s policies.
EKO HOT BLOG reports that Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu are currently holding a closed-door meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. This comes amidst the Federal Government’s struggle to pacify aggrieved Nigerians over the proposed protest slated for August 1 to 15.
According to Daily Trust, governors who arrived at the Villa in a bus were immediately ushered into the President’s office. Among those sighted were Hope Uzodimma (Imo), Uba Sani (Kaduna), and Bassey Otu (Cross River).

Meanwhile, the pan-Yoruba socio-cultural and political group, Afenifere, has blamed the policies of President Bola Tinubu’s government for the planned nationwide protest in the country.
