President Bola Tinubu is currently holding separate meetings with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
According to Punch, the two governors arrived at the State House separately at about 3:00 p.m. and 03:30 pm, with Mutfwang arriving first.
The meetings come against the backdrop of ongoing political realignments as key stakeholders commence strategic consultations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Makinde, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, remains one of the few PDP governors still standing with the opposition amid a wave of defections to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
The Oyo governor is widely believed to be nursing a presidential ambition and is positioning himself for the PDP’s 2027 presidential ticket.
Mutfwang, on the other hand, recently dumped the PDP for the APC, joining the growing list of opposition figures who have crossed over to the ruling party.
Thursday’s meeting marked his first known encounter with President Tinubu since his official defection.
President Tinubu has in recent months held a series of engagements with governors across party lines.
