The Presidency has selected six Governors to visit President Mummadu Buhari in London
The presidency has reportedly selected six governors to visit President Muhammadu Buhari in London, this six governors incluide the Governors of the rival party - PDP.
According to Punch, the Governors have been scheduled to depart Nigeria today, Tuesday, July 25.
The six Governors were said to have been picked from the six geo-political zones of the country.
It is, however, not clear if the National Security Adviser, Major General Babagana Munguno (rtd.), who is organising the trip, picked the Governors.
The six selected Governors include, Udom Emmanuel (Akwa Ibom), Dave Umahi (Ebonyi) and Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara) and Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo)
However, a governor was quoted saying that the Governors were selected outside the Nigeria Governors' Forum.
He said, "Our colleagues are going to
London to see the President. But I’m not happy that someone like the
Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, or his Rivers State
counterpart, Mr. Nyesom Wike, is not on the delegation.
"Though
there are PDP governors on the delegation, we know ourselves and also
know those we know are truly part of the opposition and those close to
the ruling All Progressives Congress.
"The
governors had been directed to be at the Presidential Wing of the
Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja, tomorrow (Tuesday). From
there, they will fly to the United Kingdom."
