Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, on Friday held a closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The meeting came amid growing rumours of possible political realignment by some opposition governors.
However, the discussion centered on security challenges in Bauchi State, especially the worsening situation in Alkaleri Local Government Area. 
Governor Mohammed briefed the President on renewed bandit attacks that have forced several communities to flee their homes.
He raised concern over the activities of armed groups operating from forest areas in Gwana, Kafin Duguri, Mansur, Yalau, Futuk, and Digare.
According to the governor, thousands of armed bandits are believed to have taken control of ungoverned forest zones.
