Tight Security as APC Holds NEC Meeting: What’s Going Down in Abuja?

Security is super tight around Blantyre Street and nearby roads in Wuse 2. Why? The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is holding a big-time National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, and top political figures are rolling in.

Now, this isn’t just any gathering; it’s a high-stakes political event. Big names are expected, including President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and House Speaker Tajudeen Abbas. The meeting is scheduled to kick off at 11 AM, but you can bet the place has been buzzing since early morning.

If you were thinking of casually strolling around Blantyre Street today, think again! Security operatives have locked down the area, restricting both vehicle and foot traffic. Only a few lucky journalists got the green light to cover the opening session. So yeah, no sneaky peeks for just anyone!

A few big shots have already checked in. Deputy Speaker of the House Benjamin Kalu and members of APC’s National Working Committee (NWC) are on site. Also spotted were State Chairmen Forum representatives, former Zamfara State governor Sen. Abdulaziz Yari, and Minister of Budget and National Planning Sen. Abubakar Atiku Bagudu.

While the exact details are still hush-hush, this NEC meeting is a big deal. Party decisions, policies, and key political strategies are likely on the table. So, if you’re into political moves and power plays, keep an eye on this space!
