2019: Buhari to meet APC governors in Daura

Barring any last minute change, President Muhammadu Buhari is expected today, Friday, to meet with governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in his country home of Daura, Katsina State.

He is likely to inform the governors of his intention to seek reelection or not in 2019, a source hinted.

The report said the president and the governors were earlier scheduled to meet at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, but the meeting was rescheduled for Daura due to Buhari’s engagement in his hometown.

According to an insider source, serious political developments would top discussions  at the meeting.

Also, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, while confirming the meeting said “Buhari would meet the governors in Daura today.”

Shehu, who, however, declined to comment on the agenda of the meeting said, “Yes, that is very correct.”

Also, Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, said whatever “meeting the president has with anyone in Daura would be a private one.”

 Buhari yesterday evening arrived his hometown Daura on a private visit after a working visit to Kaduna State.

Some governors of the APC, Ministers had expressed support to the president should he decide to seek re-election in 2019.
