Tinubu Meets Governors Amid Political Shifts in Kano

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu hosted governors Badaru and Ganduje at Aso Rock, Abuja. The specific reasons for the meeting were not disclosed, and Tinubu declined to speak to state house correspondents.

This meeting comes in the wake of recent military attacks in Borno State, where Governor Zulum has faced challenges, including the recent dissolution of his cabinet and the sacking of the state executive council member Bukar Tijani. The meeting also aligns with political developments in Kano State, where Ganduje, who served as the APC national chairman until August 2023, resigned from his position within 24 hours of a significant political shift involving the defect of former Kano Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

This context highlights the ongoing political maneuvering ahead of the 2027 elections.
