All Progressives Congress’ governors and
governors-elect will meet with the
President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, in
Abuja on Tuesday, May 5.
It would be the first time Buhari will hold
a joint meeting with the governors since
the March 28 presidential election.
One of the governors who will be in
attendance, spoke on the condition of
anonymity with Punch Newspapers, in
Abuja on Sunday, May 3.
The governor was quoted to have said:
“The APC governors, serving and
incoming, are to meet GMB (Buhari) on
Tuesday morning in Abuja to pay a
courtesy call on him, formally
congratulate him on his electoral victory
and make input into the policy direction of
the administration ahead of the May 29
inauguration of the new government.”
“Ahead of the Tuesday meeting, the
governors would hold a meeting on
Monday evening in Abuja where we would
firm up our presentation to the President-
elect.”
During the meeting, the governors are
expected to demand that they be allowed
to nominate those to be appointed
ministers in their states as well as to
make their position known regarding
which zone to be supported for the office
of the Senate President.
The governors are also said to be of the
opinion that they should be allowed to
produce the next Senate President, owing
to their support of Buhari’s candidacy and
their contribution to the merger that led
to the formation of the APC.
