5 APC governors meet Tambuwal behind closed doors

Five Governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday met
with Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal for about three hours at the
government house in Sokoto.

The governors at the meeting include Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara and
Kashim Shettima of Borno. Others were those of Adamawa, Jibrilla
Bindow; Jigawa, Badaru Abubakar; Katsina, Aminu Masari; and Niger,
Abubakar Sani Bello.

Speculations were rife that Tambuwal had perfected plans to return to
PDP which he dumped in the buildup to the 2015 general elections while
he was Speaker of the House of Representatives.

However, before the meeting, Governor Abdulaziz Yari, who led the
other governors, told reporters, "We are in the state to commiserate
with Tambuwal, the people of Sokoto and families of victims of the
recent killings in Rabah Local Government Area of the state."

However, shortly after the condolences, the governors went straight
into a closed-door meeting.

Earlier, Governor Tambuwal had blamed leadership failure for the state
of insecurity across the nation.
