President Muhammadu Buhari met with some governors on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), behind closed doors, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, yesterday.

Buhari arrived the Presidential Villa at about 1:00pm, after spending five days in his hometown, Daura, where he participated in the governorship and state assembly elections.

Governors at the meeting were Yahaya Bello of Kogi, Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State, Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi, Abdulaziz Yari, Zamfara, Abubakar Badaru, Jigawa, Kassim Shetima of Borno and Fayemi Kayode of Ekiti State.

The meeting ended at about 5:00pm with no official position on its agenda.

It will be recalled that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared the March 9 governorship and State House of Assembly elections inconclusive in at least seven states.

The affected states are Plateau, Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Sokoto, Kano and Rivers states.
