Kaduna state Governor Nasir El-Rufai, Minister of
Transport Rotimi Amaechi and the chairman of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) John Oyegun, on
Sunday held an emergency meeting with
President Muhammadu Buhari.
The meeting was held in London on Sunday.
The Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, was
also present.
At a thanksgiving service in Port Harcourt on
Sunday, the managaing director of Niger Delta
Development Commission (NDDC), Nsima Ekere,
said the APC chieftains held an emergency
meeting with the president in London.
“Today I am overjoyed but believe me just last
night I doubted I would be happy today because
my very good friends called me thrice in a row,
Rotimi Amaechi, Rochas Okorocha and the
Chairman of my great party, John Oyegun, to
reveal to me they had to make an emergency
meeting in London,” TOSTV quoted Ekere to have
said.

The meeting was also confirmed by Buhari’s
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi
Adesina.
A statement sent to a source reads: “In a
telephone conversation following the meeting of
All Progressives Congress (APC) governors and
leaders with President Muhammadu Buhari in
London Sunday, Governor Rochas Okorocha of
Imo State, said the President was very cheerful
and has not lost any bit of his sense of humour.

“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.”
