JUST IN: President Tinubu in Closed-Door Meeting with Wike, El-Rufai

President Bola Tinubu is in a closed-door meeting with former governors of River State, Nyesom and immediate Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday.

IdanNews reports that the meeting came days after the Senate went on long vacation without confirming El-Rufai minister nominee due

to an alleged security report.

Wike, who is among the 45 ministers confirmed by the Senate, arrived at the State House at about 1:40 p.m., while El-Rufai entered the presidential wing of Aso Rock at about 2 p.m.

Sources at the Presidential Villa say the meeting will focus on efforts to ensure that the Senate confirms El-Rufai as a minister.
