January 22, (THEWILL) — President Bola Tinubu, on Thursday, met separately with Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, and Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Mutfwang arrived at the State House at about 3:00 p.m., while Makinde followed at approximately 3:30 p.m.
THEWILL reports that the meetings come amid shifting political alignments, with major stakeholders across party lines intensifying consultations on governance and future political direction.
Makinde, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), remains one of the few governors still in the opposition following a wave of defections to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He is widely believed to be positioning himself for the PDP’s presidential ticket in 2027.
Mutfwang, on the other hand, recently defected from the PDP to the APC, joining a growing list of opposition figures who have crossed over to the ruling party.
Thursday’s engagement marked his first known meeting with President Tinubu since his defection.
