The Imo State Governor and
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress Governors’ Forum, Rochas Okorocha,
has said that the governors elected on the platform of the party, have
unanimously agreed that President Muhammadu Buhari should run for a second term
in office.
He added that the governors have also
asked the President to declare to run in the 2019 election.
The governor spoke to journalists
at the Sam Mbakwe international Cargo Airport on his arrival from Abuja on
Friday.
Okorocha also revealed that the
governors elected under the party had unanimously endorsed the reappointment of
the Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, as the Director – General of the Buhari
Campaign Organisation.
He said that Amaechi did well as
the Director – General of the campaign outfit in 2015 and therefore should be allowed
to repeat such a good work.
Okorocha said, “We were in Abuja
for three days, holding meetings of the Progressive Governors with the APC
leadership. We deliberated on so many issues. First among the very important
issues that we discussed, was the issue of Mr. President ’s second term bid and
it has the endorsement of all the governors of the APC.
“There is the need for him to
complete his second term as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and he
should go ahead to declare (to run for reelection ).
“We also deliberated and a
unanimous decision was reached that we liaise with the campaign team, to be
headed by the Minister of Transportation, Amaechi, as the Director-General.
“The governors also endorsed his
(Amaechi’s ) reappointment as the Director-General of the campaign team due to
his track record ahead of the last election.
“Four years are not enough to
show what the President can offer. We believe that another four years will
bring out the best in him. The first four years are a very difficult period,
and we believe that as things are stabilising, he will take Nigeria to the next
level.
“The governors have serious responsibilities.
All the governors were asked to put up a team as the campaign council.”
