Why Govs. Met Buhari – Okorocha

The chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum, Rochas Okorocha, has revealed why state governors elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress met with President Muhammadu Buhari.

Okorocha, who is the Imo State governor, met the president at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, alongside eight other state governors.

In an interview with State House correspondents after the meeting, Okorocha said it is important that the right thing is done and everyone allowed to participate in its ongoing nationwide primaries.

It was learnt that all the governors who met behind closed-doors with the President have issues with party primaries in their states.

Okorocha said, “We came to review the various crises characterising our primaries, with a view to finding solution.

“So, we are looking for a way out in this regard. We are going to find solution; our party believes in justice, equity and fairness.

“We are requesting that let the right thing be done and let everyone contest the elections.”

Other governors who attended the meeting were Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo), Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara), Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi), Sani Bello (Niger), Simon Lalong (Plateau), Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo), and Tanko Al-Makura (Nasarawa).
