Nigeria President Bola Tinubu is meeting with former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike and former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai at the State House, Abuja.
While Wike came about 1:40 pm, El-Rufai entered the Villa at about 2pm.
The two former governors are ministerial nominees but while Wike was screened and confirmed by the senate, the red chamber did not confirm el-Rufai because of an alleged security report.
Sources at the State House hinted that efforts are being made to ensure that the senate confirms Mallam el-Rufai.
