Ailing Nigerian President Muhamadu Buhari on Sunday met with some All Progressives Congress (APC) governors and leaders in London.
Below is the statement from President Buhari's spokespersons regarding the meeting:
The governor said the party delegation spent more than an hour with President Buhari over lunch, and it was very clear from the discussions that he followed developments at home very closely.
He said the President was delighted to receive the delegation and asked each governor about affairs in his state. He also asked the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, about the state of the railways.
When asked to react to all the negative things being said about him, the President just laughed, describing such negative reports as lies. Governor Okorocha said President Buhari was completely unperturbed by the cocktail of lies. He, instead, sent his best wishes to Nigerians.
According to the governor, Nigerians don’t have to worry at all, adding that President Buhari will be back as soon as the doctors give him the green light.
“By our visit to London today, the merchants of lies have been put out of business and Nigerians will not buy the garbage they have been selling. All those who look up to fake news can find better use for their time,” Governor Okorocha noted.
Governors Umaru Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa; Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna; Yahaya Bello of Kogi; and APC National Chairman, Chief John Oyegun, were also in the delegation.

Still baggage of lies. Is the president dumb?
ReplyDeleteIt is such a shame that Nigerian politics and policies are now being imported from London. When was the last time any foreign country came to Nigeria to hold a National convention? I am not a politician,but this is a set up. The next president might just chose to rule our country Nigeria from any country outside Nigeria. It is not a bad thing to pay him a visit, but holding a meting over there is just a shame. The average Nigerian die from not being able to afford basic health care/sick visit to the hospital. Yet, he spend all the money to fly Nigerians out of Nigeria to deliberate issues affecting Nigeria. We might as well belong to the white masters all over again! I asked people why they were following this guy before he was elected into presidency. He failed once, he will fail again. I guess Nigerians bargained for this.
