Although the meeting’s agenda was not made public, sources privy to it said the APC’s preparations for next year’s election and concerns raised by some party members on the adoption of a Muslim-Muslim were discussed by the two leaders.
Tinubu announced Shettima as his running mate on July 10.
The development had since attracted backlash among the Christian community in the country.
