Nevertheless, neither Comrade Philip Shaibu, the deputy governor of Edo State, nor Governor Godwin Obaseki were visible when the meeting started.

All of the governors are in attendance at this month’s meeting, which is probably the final one for 2023, with the exception of the deputies representing the governors of Akwa Ibom, Kano, Lagos, Enugu, Osun, Borno, Nasarawa, and Adamawa States.
