State Governors of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) are billed to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari
in their bid to pressure the president to seek re-election in 2019.
The meeting which has been fixed
for 2.p.m., may also deliberate on some national and party issues including the
President’s disapproval of tenure elongation for APC national executives.
It would be recalled that the
governors had on Feb. 22 met behind closed doors, after which the President
pledged to address the nation on whether he will seek re-election in 2019.
The Chairman of the APC
Governors’ Forum, Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo, who spoke to State House
correspondents on the outcome of the February meeting, said the president was
to address the caucus of the APC on the matter.
“We discussed so many issues that
affect the nation, our party and Mr President’s ambition to run for 2019
elections.
“Anyhow, Mr President in his
usual manner has requested that we give him time and that he will address the
nation and the caucus of the party very soon.
“So we should be full of
expectations that Mr President will make officially known to Nigerians his
intentions.
“But we hope that his response
will be in line with what the governors are thinking,’’ Okorocha said after the
February meeting.
