Details Of Buhari’s Meeting With APC Governors Emerge

The details of the meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have emerged.

Naija News earlier reported that President Buhari met with the governors behind closed doors inside the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa.

Speaking during the meeting, the Nigerian leader said that Nigerians will appreciate the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next six months.

Buhari said the APC will continue to respect Nigerians by ensuring that their votes count and the people’s voice matters in choosing political leaders at different levels.

The President said his government would also ensure that Nigerians are not intimidated or humiliated by those in positions or the more privileged during the 2023 general elections.

He said: “I want Nigerians to know that we respect them and for us to show that we will allow them to vote who they want.

“We all witnessed what happened in Anambra, Ekiti and Osun States. What happened in those states gives me a lot of hope that we are succeeding.

“We will not allow anyone to use personal resources or their influence to intimidate other Nigerians. We will not allow intimidation materially, morally or physically. This is the kind of leadership that can emerge and consolidate our nation.

“In six months, Nigerians will appreciate the government of APC that we are sincere and we respect them,’’ he added.

President Buhari urged the party’s political leaders to intensify efforts in “thinking, meeting and strategizing for the 2023 elections.”

In his remarks, the Chairman of the PGF and Governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu, appreciated President Buhari for his leadership by ensuring that there is no interference in elections.

He also commended the President for making sure that the Nigerian economy continues to grow in spite of the various challenges.
