President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday evening hosted state governors to a Ramadan Iftar dinner at the State House, Abuja, continuing his tradition of breaking fast with political leaders during the holy month.
The gathering, which began shortly after 6:30 pm, marks the third consecutive year the President has convened governors at the Aso Rock Villa for a symbolic fast-breaking.
Governors sighted arriving from 6:15 pm included Hope Uzodinma (Imo), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Monday Okpebholo (Edo), Usman Ododo (Kogi), Babagana Zulum (Borno), Inuwa Yahaya (Gombe), Ahmed Aliyu (Sokoto), Sheriff Oborevwori (Delta), Mohammed Bago (Niger), Umar Namadi (Jigawa), Abdullahi Sule (Nasarawa), Abba Kabir Yusuf (Kano), and Agbu Kefas (Taraba). The Deputy Governor of Bauchi State was also in attendance.
Vice President Kashim Shettima, Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, and several cabinet members joined the governors at the dinner.
The Iftar is part of President Tinubu’s annual Ramadan engagements, during which he hosts political officeholders, senior government officials, traditional rulers, and members of the diplomatic corps. In previous editions, the President has used the occasion to urge unity and encourage cooperation across party lines.
More Iftar gatherings are expected at the State House in the coming days as Ramadan observances continue.
