Recall that on February 22, the governors met with the President, after which the chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum, Gov. Rochas Okorocha, told newsmen that Mr Buhari was to address the nation on his ambition for 2019.

“We discussed so many issues that affect the nation, our party and Mr President’s ambition to run for 2019 elections,” Okorocha said after the February meeting.

“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,”
