President Bola Tinubu on Monday evening hosted state governors at a Ramadan Iftar dinner at the State House in Abuja.
The event, held at the Presidential Villa, is now in its third consecutive year. Governors, deputy governors and senior government officials gathered to break their fast with the President.
Among the governors present were Hope Uzodinma (Imo), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Monday Okpebholo (Edo), Usman Ododo (Kogi), Babagana Zulum (Borno), Inuwa Yahaya (Gombe), Ahmed Aliyu (Sokoto), Sheriff Oborevwori (Delta), Mohammed Bago (Niger), Umar Namadi (Jigawa), Abdullahi Sule (Nasarawa), Abba Kabir Yusuf (Kano), and Agbu Kefas (Taraba).
The Deputy Governor of Bauchi State also attended.
Vice President Kashim Shettima, Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila and several ministers were also in attendance.
The Iftar forms part of Tinubu’s annual Ramadan tradition of hosting political leaders and senior officials during the holy month.
At previous gatherings, the President used the occasion to call for unity and improved leadership.
At the 2025 Iftar, he told governors and ministers to focus on the welfare of citizens, saying, “do more for your people.”
He also said Nigeria should be regarded as one large family living under the same roof, irrespective of religious or ethnic differences.
Tinubu is expected to host additional Iftar meetings with senior government officials, traditional rulers and members of the diplomatic community before the end of Ramadan.
