While the agenda remains unclear, there speculations that it may not be unconnected with security challenges some states are facing as well as insufficient fund to pay salary.

Earlier, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State had met President Buhari to brief him on the alleged threat by the Fulani socio-cultural Association Miyetti Allah Kauta, (MIYETTI) over the anti-grazing law which is expected to take effect from next month.
