President Muhammadu Buhari is currently meeting the governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal behind closed doors in Abuja.
This is coming days after Mr Tambuwal a presidential hopeful in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lost out in the consensus arrangement between aspirants from northern Nigeria.
Over the past months, Bukola Saraki, former senate president; Bala Mohammed, Bauchi governor; Tambuwal and Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, former managing director of the now-defunct FSB International Bank, held consultations across the country on consensus candidature.
Last week, Mr Saraki and Mr Mohammed were announced as “northern consensus candidates” following a report released by Ango Abdullahi, elder statesman.
Mr Tambuwal who rejected the outcome of the exercise is yet to announce his next political step.
The reason for his meeting with the president remains unclear whether it has anything to do with the 2023 election.
