President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday night did not give a definitive answer to governors of All Progressive Congress (APC) who had requested him to declare his intention for 2019 presidential election.
Instead, he told them to give him time to decide on the matter.
The governors met him at the First Lady Wing of the presidential villa, Abuja in a meeting which lasted for about an hour and a half.
Chairman of APC Governors Forum and Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, briefed State House correspondents after the meeting.
He said: “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 that he will address the nation’s 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 better saves the little integrity left and avoid the same mistakes Gej made.

It is now clear even to the blind that the APC had no structure or pattern on how to run the government prior to 2015 elections. They were more interested in acquiring power but failed to realize that it is easier to get to the top than maintaining it. I see no progress of any form but what I see everyday is regression coupled with recession, starvation and hardship.

The PDP had their mistakes and were not that good in democracy but I will say the PDP is a better party than the APC in terms of good governance.The hardship brought upon by the APC is unbearable, it was not like this during the era of the PDP despite the embezzlements the APC government always accuse the PDP of. I can't imagine what would be of our beloved country if the APC is to rule for 16 years like the PDP. Unimaginable!

To this end, I call on patriotic citizens of this great country, to register and get their PVCs for the upcoming general elections. Do the needful and save the next generation. Nigeria is too big for political experiments.

Change the change!

Baba what time do u need to decide either to run or not..?. is it not za oza room in Daura that u are running back to in 2019..??

Hello Nigerians.. We have had enough of all these politicians recycling themselves in our political system.. The same set of people that ruled decades ago are still the ones ruling us now.. Enough is enough.. We cannot survive and succeed under Analog leaders in a Digital age.. That is why I STAND WITH FELA DUROTOYE... He is a fresh blood and he is not too young to run.. #istandwithfeladurotoye.. #istandwithalliancefornewnigeria

Only the flat headed five percenters think the president should not contest, they will cry again come February 2019

I'll respect his decision if he decides not to contest. But if he does contest, he would win.

He will run.
Buhari is a lying,highly integrity deficit bigot.
His claiming to need time is just to give a charade of being persuaded by imps like Okorocha and other APC governors.Buhari right from day one has wanted to seek a second term because he fears the revelations that would come out from his monumentally disastrous rule,of another party's candidate winning the presidency
Is it not devilish of any president to give audience to a set of crooked individuals to discuss second term at the very moment more than 90 girls were kidnapped with 2 already dead!
We all felt Jonathan was clueless and incompetent not knowing the one after him would not only be clueless and grossly incompetent,but a satanic,lying,probably mentally challenged bigot!!

Save yourself disgrace and don't run.

Bla blah blah...Go and sit down..

Elected officials abandoned their different states, gathered in Abuja (Not to brainstorm on how to improve the lot of their individual states), but to ask a man that has failed woefully if he would like to continue on a job he clearly lack the capacity to do?

Failed entity...

Baba Go Slow!
