Rochas Okorocha, Imo governor,
says the All Progressives Congress (APC) cannot be jittery over the emergence
of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as presidential candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He said the antecedents of Atiku
and President Muhammadu Buhari, candidate of the APC, will be crucial in the
2019 presidential election.
The chairman of the Progressives
Governors Forum said the APC is more interested in issues and will not engage
in a verbal war.
He made the comment on Wednesday
after a meeting between five APC governors and President Buhari at the
presidential villa, Abuja.
“I don’t know about talking
tough. We can’t be jittery, history is there to speak, history is very
important,” Okorocha said.
“Like I said we are not going to
get involved in this verbal war with anybody, we will be talking about issues.
“If you say look you are not
good, we will tell you what we can do and what we cannot do and what others
cannot do. So APC is not going to engage in that kind of talk show, but we
discuss on what our party can do for the people.’’
He said the governors used the
opportunity of the visit to congratulate the president over his emergence as
APC presidential candidate in 2019 general election.
“We are here on delegation of
governors to come and congratulate Mr President for having emerged as the
presidential candidate of APC in the 2019 election,” he said.
“This basically is the message we
have come and to say that Mr President is more than ever ready for the entire
exercise.”
