President Bola Tinubu on Thursday held separate meetings with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The two governors arrived at the State House at different times, with Mutfwang arriving at about 3:00 p.m., while Makinde followed at approximately 3:30 p.m.
The engagements come amid ongoing political realignments, as consultations intensify among key political figures ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Makinde, who is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, remains one of the few PDP governors yet to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress, despite the wave of defections that has hit the opposition party.
The Oyo State governor is widely believed to be nurturing a presidential ambition and is said to be positioning himself for the PDP’s presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 polls.
Mutfwang, on his part, recently left the PDP for the APC, joining several opposition figures who have crossed over to the ruling party.
Thursday’s meeting was his first publicly known engagement with President Tinubu since his official defection.
President Tinubu has in recent months held meetings with governors from across party lines as part of broader political engagements.
