President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday received security briefings from three northern governors, before leaving the country for New York, USA.
The governors are Kashim Shettima(Borno State); Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano State) and Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State. The briefing took place at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Tambuwal’s media aide, Imam Imam, posted image of the leaders on his Facebook page.
An insider said the meeting centered on national issues, including the security situation in the three states.
Buhari has since left for New York, to participate in the 72nd session of the United Nations General Assembly.
His spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina, said his principal would transit through London on his way back to Nigeria.
Unconfirmed report say Buhari had directed the military to weaken Nnamdi Kanu and his group, the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) before he returns from the trip.
