President Bola Tinubu is currently in a closed door session with former governors of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, and Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The two former governors are ministerial nominees.

However, while Wike was screened and confirmed by the Senate, the Senate did not confirm El-Rufai because of an alleged security report.
The former governors arrived the State House separately.
