The former governors, led by Lucky Igbinedion, visited Tinubu and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, to congratulate them on their election and appointment, respectively. During the meeting, discussions on advancing the country were also reportedly held.

As the PDP continues its legal battle against Tinubu’s victory, some question the appropriateness of any past or present PDP governors being part of the visit, citing similar scrutiny faced by other PDP figures who met with Tinubu previously, such as Nyesom Wike and Governor Seyi Makinde.
