About 15 months into his four year tenure, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday played host to former Presidents as he held the first Council of State Meeting at the Presidential Villa Abuja.
At the meeting physically were former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan, Muhammadu Buhari while former Heads of State, Yakubu Gowon and AbdulSalami Abubakar joined the meeting virtually.
