President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to address the nation soon during which time he will bare his mind on whether or not to run for the 2019 election to complete his second term.
The President, who met with the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors today, Thursday, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, said that he will address the nation and the caucus of the APC very soon.
The Chairman of APC Governors Forum and Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, who briefed news men shortly after the meeting, said that they discussed many issues, among which was the request by the governors on the President to agree to contest the 2019 election for his second term.
“We discussed so many issues that affect the nations, our party and Mr President’s ambition to run for 2019 elections.
“It is the desire of the governors that Mr President should run for this exalted office given his performance in the last two years. We believe that if he continues Nigeria will be better for it.
“Anyway, Mr President in his usual manner has requested that we give him time and 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.” [myad]
