Buhari will also hold bilateral meetings with some of his colleagues on issues of common interests.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

On Friday, May 31st, during the funeral service for the Late Asagba of Asaba, the essence of true leadership was vividly displayed. The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
