When asked if the new leadership of the NWC has met with President Tinubu, our source simply said, “I am not aware they have met with the President. I think it is still being worked out. Remember, the President returned from Kenya on Monday evening. I am sure the acting Chairman is on top of that, and we are sure he will inform the committee as soon as he meets with the President.”

A source in the party’s secretariat who has access to the workings of the NWC said that the outcome of today’s meeting with the governors elected on the platform of APC would be part of the issues the new leadership of the NWC will be taking to the President
