President Bola Tinubu is presiding over a meeting of the National Caucus of the All Progressives Congress at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja.
The session began at 7:38 p.m. when the President arrived at the hall.
Thursday’s meeting is the party’s second caucus gathering in 2025, following an earlier session held on February 25.
It is also the first since Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda emerged as the APC national chairman in July.
An opening prayer was led by the Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Gen. Buba Marwa (retd.), who offered the Muslim prayer, while Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, said the Christian prayer.
The meeting comes days after the party rescheduled its National Caucus and National Executive Committee meetings from December 15–16 to December 18–19, with the NEC now expected to hold on Friday at the Presidential Villa.
Our correspondent sighted governors and top party chieftains at the venue, including serving APC governors, former governors and principal officers of the National Assembly.
Notably, former Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige, was also sighted at the venue, hours after he was granted bail by an FCT High Court in Gwarimpa.
Ngige is being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on an eight-count charge bordering on abuse of office and acceptance of gifts estimated at about ₦2.2 billion.
Also present at the caucus meeting were six governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party who recently defected to the APC, including Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah, Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri, Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno and Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas.
The APC National Caucus is a meeting of the party’s top leadership.
It typically brings together the President, Vice President, national chairman, members of the National Working Committee, APC governors and other key stakeholders to align on political and organisational issues ahead of broader deliberations at the NEC.
