The Chairman of the National Caretaker Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mai Mala Buni, and the chairman of Edo State’s APC governorship election campaign council, Ibrahim Ganduje, Monday met with President Muhammadu Buhari behind closed doors.
The meeting, said to be a private one, was held behind closed doors at the President’s office.
Although the agenda of the meeting was not made public, it held a day after the Independent National Electoral Commission declared the state governor, Godwin Obaseki, the winner of the governorship election held on Saturday.
Obaseki of the Peoples Democratic Party defeated Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the APC and other contestants to emerge winner of the contest.
Ganduje, who is the Governor of Kano State, was in Benin during the election but was said to have left the state on Sunday shortly before the result of the election was formally released.
Unlike the previous meetings they had with Buhari ahead of the election, Buni and Ganduje were seen using a different route apparently to avoid any encounter with State House correspondents.
As of the time of filing this report, the Presidency has yet to issue a statement on the meeting.
