President Bola Tinubu hosted a significant gathering of former governors from the 1999 class at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa yesterday, marking a notable political reunion. The event, as shared by prominent journalist and ADC Chieftain, Dele Momodu on his Instagram account on July 26, 2025, saw the attendance of several key figures from Nigeria’s political landscape, though it was notably missing one prominent name.
In a post shared two hours ago, Momodu captioned the image of the gathering with the statement, “Kwankwaso absent as Ibori, Nyame, Muazu other class of 1999 Governors met Tinubu at the Aso Rock Presidential villa, yesterday.” The photograph depicts the group of Governors dressed in traditional and formal attire, standing in a well-lit hallway, suggesting a formal and respectful meeting.
Among the attendees were former governors such as James Ibori, Jolly Nyame, and Ahmadu Muazu, representing a cross-section of Nigeria’s political history. The absence of Rabiu Kwankwaso, a prominent figure and leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement is said to have sparked curiosity and speculation among political observers.
