What Governors Discussed With Tinubu Till 2am – Gov Sule

The Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, has stated that governors met with President Bola Tinubu in Lagos to discuss the pressing security concerns and to strategise ahead of the All Progressives Congress convention.

He spoke during his investiture ceremony as Patron of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations in Abuja on Monday.

He said, “First, let me apologise to our dear , good people of Nasarawa, particularly our leaders, that this event is being held here in Abuja instead of our state. The reason was the tight schedule we had.

“We were willing to come to Nasarawa State. But yesterday, you were aware that most of the governors were in Lagos to meet with Mr President.

“After having lunch, we had a lengthy meeting, especially on areas of security, which we presented before the President.

“Also, we had our usual lengthy meetings of governors late into the night in preparation for our APC convention. The meeting lasted until after 2 am today.”

The governor said the tight schedule forced a last-minute change of venue for his investiture ceremony from Lafia to Abuja.

“So I realised it was going to be difficult to make it to Lafia. So I pleaded with them if they could have the meeting here, and they agreed that we could have the investiture here in Abuja. And I’m happy that our dear friend decided to donate the building for the meeting,” he added.
