Governors of the All progressives congress (APC) met with its National
working committee late last night in Abuja to discuss certain
issues/crisis plaguing the party.
Speaking to newsmen after the
meeting, Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-rufai said that the governors
had restated their support for Buhari, adding that his state of health
had no issue with politics. ...
Quoting him;
"We are not
worried about the development, it is not compulsory for the president to
preside over every Federal Executive Council (FEC), that is why our
constitution makes available the place of the Vice President”
El-rufai's
statements are coming after Buhari's absence at the FEC meeting held on
Wednesday. This was the 3rd time in a row that the president did not
attend such an important meeting thus fueling rumors that his health was
in a bad shape.
The petite Kaduna governor further stated;
"Mr.
President is 74 years old; at that age, it is possible to have one
ailment or the other, even I, at 57 take medication for one ailment or
the other. Our prayer is that the president gets better but the reason
he has a Vice President is because of a time like this, it may not be as
a result of sickness that he did not attend FEC, he may have had other
pressing issues to attend to."
"I have not had to chair every
State Executive Council in Kaduna state because the deputy governor is
there if I have other issues of greater priority to attend to. Muhammadu
Buhari “We are not worried yet or have any reason to be worried but I
call on every Nigerian to join all of us to pray for the improved health
of the President. It has improved in the last few weeks since he came
back and we will continue to pray for his improved health."
Speaking on matters discussed at the meeting, Elrufai said;
"We
have committed to providing the NWC all the support that they need. We
will also engage in fundraising from our donors, sympathizers of the APC
to ensure that the national headquarters of the party and indeed all
organs of the party have the wherewithal to continue with the difficult
work they have been doing within the party.” “The joint meeting between
the NWC and the governors also resolved that at our next meeting, we are
going to look at the arrangements for the midterm convention and put in
place the resources necessary to ensure that the convention
“The
joint meeting between the NWC and the governors also resolved that at
our next meeting, we are going to look at the arrangements for the
midterm convention and put in place the resources necessary to ensure
that the convention holds as required by our party. “The governors
restate their loyalty to Mr. President, the Vice President and all
leaders of our party; we enjoin Nigerians to continue to pray for the
improved health of the President."
