Ahead of the Presidential Election Tribunal judgment today, President MuhammaduBuhari Tuesday summoned the security chiefs for a closed door meeting ostensibly to discuss the security implications in whatever way the case goes.
Although there was a threat by the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, generally called the Shiites, over their traditional festival which government claimed they wanted to use to opportunities to foment trouble, their threat has already been contained by the time the meeting started in the Afternoon.
Already, there were indications that the Directorate of State Services, DSS, circulated internal memos telling staff to be vigilant as, according to the alleged circular, the opposition has plans to destabilize the country if the judgment goes to the APC.
There has been no reports on the outcome of the meeting yet.
The presidential Election Tribunal sitting in Abuja will today give judgment on the disputed presidency.
Three options are open to the tribunal. They may declare President Buhari the winner of the elections, declare Atiku the President or can cancel the election and order a rerun.
Present at the meeting were the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Mohamed Adamu, the Director general of the Nigerian Intelligence agency, NIA, Ahmed Abubakar, and the National Security Adviser, NSA, Babagana Monguno in the state house.
