Tinubu, Akpabio in Closed-Door Talks at Aso Rock
President Bola Tinubu is currently holding a closed-door meeting with Senate President Godswill Akpabio at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja.
The details of their discussion remain undisclosed, but the meeting comes just hours after the Nigerian Senate summoned intelligence chiefs to investigate claims that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) may have funded terrorist groups like Boko Haram.
Why This Meeting Matters
Earlier on Wednesday, the Senate, led by Akpabio, took a firm stance on the allegations made by U.S. Congressman Perry Scott.
The lawmaker accused USAID of indirectly supporting terrorism in Nigeria, sparking widespread concern.
During a plenary session, Akpabio made it clear:
“If USAID is found guilty of funding terrorism, we will not allow them to continue operating in Nigeria.”
This statement set the stage for a deeper investigation, with the Senate summoning top security officials, including the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Department of State Services (DSS), and the National Security Adviser (NSA).
What’s Next?
With Tinubu and Akpabio now in a private discussion, Nigerians are left speculating—could this meeting signal major policy decisions regarding foreign aid and national security?
As of now, there’s no official statement on the outcome of their meeting, but all eyes are on Aso Rock for updates.
