John Oyegun, to reveal to me they had to make an emergency meeting in
London,” TOSTV quoted Ekere to have said.

A statement sent to DAILY POST 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.”
