Governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), on Tuesday, held a meeting behind closed doors in Abuja.
The meeting of the progressive governors’ forum (PGF) held
hours after the APC governors met with President Muhammadu Buhari.
Details of the meeting, which was said to have held at the
Kebbi governor’s lodge, are still sketchy, but at the session with Buhari
earlier on Tuesday, the discussion focused on the party’s presidential primary
scheduled for June 6 to 8.
Abdullahi Sule, governor of Nasarawa, also confirmed the meeting when he appeared as a guest on Channels Television on Tuesday night.
Sule, however, did not give details of what was on the
agenda of the PGF meeting.
Meanwhile, in his address, Buhari had urged the governors to
ensure that the presidential primary reflects internal democracy.
“As we approach the convention, I appeal to all of you to
allow our interests to converge, our focus to remain on the changing dynamics
of our environment, the expectations of our citizens and the global community,”
he said.
“Our objective must
be the victory of our party and our choice of candidate must be someone who
would give the Nigerian masses a sense of victory and confidence even before
the elections.
“In keeping with the established internal policies of the
party and as we approach the convention in a few days, therefore, I wish to
solicit the reciprocity and support of the governors and other stakeholders in
picking my successor, who would fly the flag of our party for election into the
office of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2023.
“I wish to assure you that the consultation process shall
continue to ensure that all aspirants and stakeholders would be brought on
board right through to the convention.
“This would also ensure that any anxiety occasioned by
different factors are effectively brought under control and that our party
emerges stronger.”
