Governors serving their first term under the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform are currently meeting in Kebbi, the north-west state.

The meeting, which is hosted by Nasir Idris, the governor of Kebbi, is being held at the government house in Birnin Kebbi, the state capital.

Governors attending the sit-down include Umo Eno (Akwa Ibom), Hyacinth Alia (Benue), Sheriff Oborevwori (Delta), Francis Nwifuru (Ebonyi), Monday Okpebholo (Edo), Biodun Oyebanji (Ekiti), Peter Mbah (Enugu), Umar Namadi (Jigawa), Uba Sani (Kaduna), Usman Ododo (Kogi), Lucky Aiyedatiwa (Ondo), Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau), Ahmad Aliyu (Sokoto), and Agbu Kefas (Taraba).

Other state governors are represented by their deputies.

The agenda of the gathering has not been made public, but TheCable understands that it is connected to the forthcoming general election.

In May, the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) was thrown into crisis after a rival faction emerged within the body.

Hope Uzodimma, governor of Imo state and chairman of the forum, insisted that he remains the legitimate leader of the PGF.

The opposing faction rallied behind Dapo Abiodun, governor of Ogun state, and AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, governor of Kwara state.
