President Muhammadu Buhari is currently hosting the National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governor of Lagos state, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Both men are holding a closed door meeting.
Though the agenda of the meeting is not known, however it was learnt that the disagreements delaying the decision to fix a definite date for the APC National Convention was the focus.
Tinubu is believed to be a strong contender for the APC presidential ticket ahead of 2023 election.
