BREAKING: Tinubu holds closed-door meeting with security chiefs as protesters turn deaf ears to his appeal
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently meeting behind closed doors with heads of security and paramilitary operatives under the aegis of the National Security Council.
The meeting is being held at the President’s office, presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, General Christopher Musa is leading the service Chiefs and other military and paramilitary heads to the meeting.
Also at the meeting are Vice President Kashim Shettima, the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun among others
The meeting came after protesters marching against hunger and bad governance refused to listen to his appeal to suspend the action.
Recall that President Tinubu on Sunday in a national broadcast had pleaded with the organizers of the nationwide protests to suspend especially as it has gone violent in some states with the attendant loss of lives and destruction of property.
The President, who said that he had heard the grievances of the protesters loud and clear, also warned that he would not sit and watch some people used by opposition politicians to destroy the democracy in the country.
However, the protesters said the president didn’t address their demands in his nationwide broadcast and thereby continued their actions against the government.
