Tinubu Hosts Ibori, Igbinedion, Other Class of 1999 Governors in Aso Rock Villa

President Bola Tinubu hosted the 1999 cohort of Nigerian governors at the State House on Friday.

The group, which includes former governors who served at the inception of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic, was led by Edo State ex-Governor Chief Lucky Igbinedion.

The President, who was elected Lagos State Governor in 1999 representing the Alliance for Democracy (AD), warmly welcomed his old colleagues for a reunion after more than twenty years.

The private meeting reportedly revived old political ties and included discussions on Nigeria’s democratic progress since their tenure began.

The meeting, according to insider sources focused on national unity, governance, and ways former state leaders can contribute meaningfully to the country’s continued democratic development.

Recognized as a key generation in Nigeria’s move from military to civilian rule, the 1999 governors have continued to shape the country’s political landscape.
