Imo state governor and Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors’ Forum, Rochas Okorocha says President Muhammadu Buhari has requested for time to decide on whether or not to seek re-election in 2019.

 

Rising from a closed door meeting with the president at the Presidential villa yesterday, Okorocha while addressing newsmen said the APC governors and the president discussed so many issues that was currently affecting the nation, the party and Buhari’s ambition to run for 2019 elections.

 

“Anyhow, Mr President in his usual manner has requested that we give him time and that he will address the nation and the caucus of the party very soon.

 

“So we should be full of expectations that Mr President will make officially known to Nigerians his intentions.

 

“But we hope that his response will be in line with what the governors are thinking,’’ he said.
