Three days after he inaugurated the council, President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday presided over the inaugural meeting of the campaign council for his re-election.
However, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the 24 state governors elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) were absent at the meeting which held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
While the Vice President was on a visit to Ondo State, it was unclear why the governors did not attend the meeting.
Those who attended include APC chieftain and co-chairman of the Presidential Campaign Council, Bola Tinubu, as well as the party’s national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.
Others in attendance are the Director General of the Council, Rotimi Amaechi; his deputy, Senator Olorunnibe Mamora; Senator Ahmed Lawan, and Senator George Akume, among others.
