Thursday July 25th, the elected Governors from the All Progressives Congress, under the aegis of the Progressives Governors Forum, are currently meeting with President Bola Tinubu amid growing calls for nationwide protests against economic hardship.
As of the time of this report, the agenda of the meeting holding in the president’s office is unknown but it may not be unconnected to the planned protests scheduled to take place across Nigeria next week.
With growing economic hardship being experienced by Nigerians, the protests, organized under the hashtag ‘EndBadGovernance,’ have gained significant traction on social media and Nigerians offline. The protest scheduled to take place across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, the organizers remain largely anonymous, with no group officially claiming responsibility.
This meeting follows the gathering of the governors on Wednesday night and comes after a last-minute cancellation of the National Economic Council meeting.
