President Bola Tinubu on Thursday charged governors from the six northeastern states of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe to do more in the face of terrorism and banditry.
He declared that Nigeria had stabilised economically and entered what he described as a golden age.
Tinubu gave the charge when he received a delegation of North-East political leaders and senior government officials from the region at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Officials who earlier spoke to our correspondent said the meeting is a formal thank-you visit following the President’s decision to retain Vice President Kashim Shettima as his running mate for the 2027 general election.
Tinubu told the gathering, “I could see the leadership of the Northeast challenged because of terrorism and banditry. I could see our collaboration. We work together.
