Some Governors elected under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), will today visit President Muhammadu Buhari in London.

According to The Punch, six governors were picked from the six geo-political zones of the country. Listed among the six governors are Udom Emmanuel (Akwa Ibom), Dave Umahi (Ebonyi), Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara), and Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo).

The national daily further revealed that a governor, who is not among those travelling to see Buhari, said those chosen for the journey were picked outside the Nigeria Governors’ Forum.

He said, “Our colleagues are going to London to see the President. But I’m not happy that someone like the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, or his Rivers State counterpart, Mr. Nyesom Wike, is not on the delegation.

“Though there are PDP governors on the delegation, we know ourselves and also know those we know are truly part of the opposition and those close to the ruling All Progressives Congress.

“The governors had been directed to be at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja, tomorrow (Tuesday). From there, they will fly to the United Kingdom.”

The visit is coming few days after some Governors and leaders of the APC visited the president in London where he is on medical leave.
