Tinubu Meets Service Chiefs, IGP In Aso Rock

President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday, held a crucial security meeting with the nation’s service chiefs.

Naija News reports that the meeting, which also had Senate President Godswill Akpabio and the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, in attendance, held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Others who attended the meeting were the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, the Directors General of the State Security Service, Adeola Ajayi and the National Intelligence Agency, Mohammed Mohammed.

The agenda of the meeting, which commenced around 3 pm, was yet to be made public as of press time.

Meanwhile, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has denied asking the Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, to declare a state of emergency in the state following the ongoing crisis with House of Assembly members.

Naija News reports that this comes after a claim surfaced on 𝕏 that Obasanjo visited Fubara and weighed in on the crisis with the lawmakers.

According to the claim, Obasanjo during the purported visit to Fubara asked him to shut the state house of assembly and withdraw the security personnel attached to the assembly members.

The post also claimed that Obasanjo advised Fubara to order the closure of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company (NNPC) and Niger-Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and to demolish any facility that may be used to host his impeachment.

However, Obasanjo’s media assistant, Kehinde Akinyemi, who spoke with TheCable said the claim was false.

According to Akinyemi the former president did not visit Fubara or made the statement circulating online.

He said, “As you know, Obasanjo does not have a social media account, and he didn’t visit the governor or make any such comments.”
