    All the 24 state governors elected under the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) were cospicuosly absent on Thursday in Abuja during the inaugural meeting of the presidential campaign council of the party being chaired by President Muhammadu Buhari.

    The council was inaugurated on Monday by Buhari at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.

    The meeting held at the conference hall of State House Presidential Villa Abuja.

    It is not clear why the governors are not at the event, but recall that President Buhari recently told Nigerian voters not to re-elect any governor who failed to pay workers salaries after receiving bailout funds from the federal government.

    Buhari had while inaugurating the council announced that Tinubu will take full charge of his re-election campaign.

    However, it was gathered that Buhari will be attending campaign rallies in Kaduna, Bauchi and Gombe states over the weekend.

    A source at the presidential villa confirmed that the president will travel to Kaduna on Friday, Bauchi on Saturday and Gombe on Sunday.
