Why I Led APC Governors To Buhari — Okorocha

Rochas Okorocha, governor of Imo state, says he led nine governors of the All progressives Congress (APC) to President Muhammadu Buhari because of the controversies which trailed the party’s primaries for 2019 elections.

Recall that some governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, namely Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo), Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Rochas Okorocha (imo), Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara), Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi), Sani Bello (Niger), Simon Lalong (Plateau), Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo), and Tanko Almakura (Nasarawa) had met with Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja over the ongoing primaries of the party.

Addressing State House Correspondents after the meeting, Okorocha said the parley was to find solutions to the crisis trailing APC primaries in states.

”We came to review the various crises characterizing our primaries, especially the APC 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; let the right thing be done and let everyone contest the elections,” he said.

Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna state, had earlier met with Buhari over the same issue on Wednesday.
