Also on the entourage is Governor of Kebbi State and Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF), Atiku Bagudu

Speculations were also rife that the former Lagos State Governor and APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was expected to be part of team that is to brief the President on the Party’s preparedness for the Edo election.

Party insiders hinted that the President will also be briefed on current happenings in the South South state in relations to the crisis in the House of Assembly

Competence sources stated that the APC gubernatorial standard bearer is expected to formally receive Mr President’s blessings and officially invite him to attend the grand campaign flag-off for the forthcoming elections.
