A group of APC Governors under the auspices of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) on Monday visited former President Muhammadu Buhari at his residence in Kaduna.

The governors stated that the APC was growing stronger as the largest political party in Nigeria, insisting that it would remain stable and stronger even ahead of the 2027 electioneering period.

Speaking to newsmen after a closed-door meeting with Buhari, Hope Uzodinma, Chairman of the forum, said their visit signified a show of unity and strength within the APC.

He said after the Ramadan, Lent and Eid-el-Fitr celebrations, they deemed it necessary to pay a homage to the former president who served eight years under the APC.

Describing Buhari as a father to the APC in politics, Uzodinma said they were pleased to meet him in good health and sound mind.

Uzodinma expressed their gratitude to Buhari for his leadership and credited him with producing a cohesive machinery that made the party retain power.

He highlighted the party’s growth in strength and capacity to govern, attributing the success to the party’s ability to hold consultations and put the nation above individual interests.

He emphasised the importance of internal cohesion and strong leadership in achieving electoral success.

The host, Gov. Uba Sani, described Buhari as a father, leader and a statesman.

Sani said not only politicians, but ordinary citizens go to pay Buhari homage at his residence. (NAN)
