Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo is currently meeting with governors of the south-west states at the presidential villa in Abuja.
Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police, is also in attendance.
The agenda of the meeting was not disclosed but a presidential source told TheCable that it is about the regional security outfit floated by the governors.
Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation, had described the security outfit as illegal but the governors said it has come to stay.
The opposing positions between the governors and the AGF generated reactions from the public, most especially from groups and residents in the region.
Stakeholders in the region also condemned the AGF’s declaration, saying only a competent court can declare Amotekun illegal.
Residents and groups in the region have also protested against Malami’s declaration, while expressing solidarity for the security outfit.
In a statement on Wednesday, Bola Tinubu, national leader of All Progressives Congress (APC) urged the governors and the AGF to adopt dialogue in resolving the issue which has generated public reactions.
