Also, Gov. Daniel spent the day at the Oke-Mosan Governor’s Office in Abeokuta
Others who were absent at yesterday’s event are governors Danjuma Goje of Gombe State and Ibrahim Idris of Kogi State.

Two main issues discussed yesterday, according to sources, were how in-coming administrations will easily pick their staff and that of the Peer Review Mechanism for the governors.
