2023 Presidency: Osinbajo to meet APC governors today, set to declare Tuesday

Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo will meet with the 22 governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) under the aegis of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) in Abuja today.

The meeting is part of Osinbajo’s consultations with critical stakeholders ahead of his declaration to contest the 2023 presidential election on the platform of the ruling APC, which he is expected to announce this week.

This is coming as the Minister of Transportation, Mr Chibuike Amaechi, yesterday declared his ambition to contest the 2023 presidential election on the platform of the APC.

Presidency sources said that Osinbajo’s meeting with the APC governors would hold at the Akinola Aguda official residence of the Vice President located within the precincts of the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The meeting billed for 7 p.m. will also serve as fast-breaking for the governors as adherents of Christianity and Islam, the two major religions, are currently observing fasting as prescribed in the Holy Books.

Newsflash Nigeria learnt that the vice president would use the forum to intimate the APC governors led by Governor Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State of his intention to contest for the APC’s presidential ticket in the forthcoming presidential primaries of the party.
