Governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and the members of the party’s National Working Committee, NWC, on Wednesday, have declared the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, Leader of the party, as an interim replacement for President Muhammadu Buhari.
This was part of the decisions taken at the end of a monthly meeting, held between the Governors and the John Odigie-Oyegun-led APC NWC.
They noted that they were preparing to meet with Buhari, for him to pick a convenient date for the Convention, but that was not possible, before he left for a medical trip abroad.
Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, who addressed Newsmen after the meeting said: “The issue of the National Convention was raised. Actually, it was part of the decisions we took at the last meeting. Unfortunately, like you realised, Mr. President is not here; he is the leader of the party.
“What we did was that we now have an Acting President. So, the team was supposed to meet with Mr President, with a suggested date that is convenient, so that he could decide on the Convention.
“But today, we all agreed that we have an Acting President; the same process should start again through the Acting President.”
According to him, the President, as the leader of the party, should attend, but that in the present circumstance, the presence of the Acting President would suffice.
Lalong added that, those at the meeting reviewed the party’s performance over the last two years, and were satisfied with the level of progress so far made.
Some of the Governors who attended the meeting included: Godwin Obaseki (Edo), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Abubakar Badaru (Jigawa), Mohammed Abubakar (Bauchi).
Others were: Sani Bello (Niger), Aminu Masari (Katsina), and Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara), among others.
