President Muhammadu Buhari met with seven governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
While two of the governors have been elected as Senators for the ninth National Assembly, three are among those re-elected for a second term of four years.
The governors were Yahaya Bello (Kogi), Nasir el-Rufai (Kaduna), Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi), Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara), Abubakar Badaru (Jigawa), Kassim Shetima (Borno) and Fayemi Kayode (Ekiti).
The President arrived the Villa about 1:00pm after spending five days in Daura, where he participated in Saturday’s governorship and state Assembly polls.

Although the agenda of the meeting, which ended at 5:00pm was not officially disclosed, it came barely 24 hours after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared elections in Adamawa, Plateau, Sokoto, Bauchi, Benue and Kano states inconclusive.
