Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday hosted other southwest governors at the State House, Marina where they discussed issues of interest to the region.
All the governors of the region were present except Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde who was represented by his deputy Rauf Olaniyan.
The meeting began at 4:30pm and held behind closed doors. After 90 minutes, the governors rose from the meeting and offered no detailed information on matters discussed.
Chairman of the Southwest Governors’ Forum Rotimi Akeredolu told reporters that their deliberations bordered on issues like security in the region and Oodua Group, a company owned by all six southwest states.
He said: “We, the six governors of the south-west under the Southwest Governors’ Forum met today. We deliberated on a number of common and personal issues. We also deliberated on our common heritage, which is the Oodua Group of Companies.
“At the end, we agreed on a few things; a number of them, which have to do with security are not what we can discuss in the open. This short address is just to let you (pressmen) know we met today but we don’t want our decisions discussed in the open.”
The governors visited the national leader of the All Progressives Congress Bola Tinubu after their meeting.
