The
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC ) Governors’ Forum, Gov. Rochas
Okorocha of Imo, says President Muhammadu Buhari would soon address the nation
on whether he will seek re-election in 2019.
Okorocha stated this when he briefed State House
correspondents after a closed-door meeting between the President and the APC
governors held on Thursday night at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said the president would also 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,’’ he said.
According to the governor, it is the desire of the governors
that the President seek re-election in view of his tremendous performances in
the last two and half years.
He said: “We believe that if he continues Nigeria will be
better for it.’’
