Also present at the meeting were the Senate President, David Mark, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mohammad Uwais.

Other governors at the meeting were Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross Rivers, Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu, Gombe,‎ Kaduna, Kebbi, Niger, and Acting governor of Taraba.

Embattled Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako, was surprisingly showed up at the meeting.

 

Nyako was the centre of attention when he entered the council chamber at about 10:55 a.m. before the commencement of the meeting got a lot of handshakes and banters from his colleagues when he took his seat in the chamber, his colleagues clustered around him to get the first-hand gist about happenings in Adamawa State‎.

 

Nyako had been enmeshed recently in an impeachment saga by the Adamawa State House of Assembly on alleged corruption charges.
