President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday met with three state governors of the All Progressives Congress ( APC ) from the South West geo-political zone at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Governors at the meeting included Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun, Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo and Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti.

The meeting, held behind closed doors at the President’s office residence, was part of Buhari’s efforts to reconcile all aggrieved members of the party.

It would be recalled that the President had on Wednesday met behind closed door with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the APC and the party’s National Chairman Adams Oshiomhole, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The President’s meeting with the APC leader and Oshiomhole  came less than 24 hours after Buhari hosted aggrieved APC aspirants  to a dinner at the State House.

The meetings were also part of the president’s reconciliatory efforts aimed at ensuring victory for the party in the 2019 general elections.

Outcome of Sunday’s meeting between the president and the three governors were still being awaited as of the time of filling this report.
