Social media users and political observers are speculating over the outcome of Monday’s closed-door meeting between President Bola Tinubu, Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia, and former Governor Senator Gabriel Suswam at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
In a widely shared post, social commentator Or Turan noted that while the actual discussions remain known only to the trio, the facial expressions of Governor Alia and Senator Suswam suggested the meeting “didn’t end as expected.” The post observed that Governor Alia appeared unusually moody after the encounter.
The writer recalled earlier reports claiming the duo went to “beg” the President not to sack the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, but questioned whether they were given the opportunity to make their case.
“Even Senator Suswam would’ve spoken powerfully if the meeting ended the way mba Azera Timothy are speculating,” the post added.
The meeting took place amid ongoing crisis and internal wrangling within the Benue APC, particularly over party structure and the senatorial ticket. No official statement has been issued by any of the parties involved regarding the discussions.
