BETWEEN BUHARI, APC GOVERNORS ENDS IN DEADLOCK
The meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and Governors of
the All Progressives Congress (APC) ended in deadlock on Tuesday.
On their way out of the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa,
none of the Governors responded to questions from State House correspondents.
Rochas Okorocha (Imo), Simon Lalong (Plateau) and Nasir el-Rufai
(Kaduna), explained to reporters that a unanimous agreement was reached at the
meeting not to talk to the media.
On his way out, one of the Governors said, “Some people think they
are tall but they can never control us. Never!”
The Governors, who are divided over the tenure extension of John
Oyegun, were reportedly engaged in fierce arguments during the over one-hour
meeting.
Buhari eventually told correspondents he had to reschedule the
meeting and asked them to pick another date.
