The All Progressives Congress Governors on Monday said they paid a visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari at his Kaduna State residence to check on his health and wellbeing.
The Chairman of the All Progressives Governors Forum, Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, who led the governors stated this on Monday.
The governors met behind closed-door with Buhari.
Uzodimma said the visit was to look after Buhari’s well-being, describing him as the father of the APC.
Uzodimma said Monday’s visit by the APC governors to Buhari signified a show of unity and strength within the ruling party.
He said Buhari is a father in politics and expressed gratitude to God for the opportunity to meet him in good health, adding that they deemed it necessary to pay homage to the former president who served eight years under the APC.
Uzodimma said, “We came to pay former President Muhammadu Buhari a courtesy visit. You know former President Muhammadu Buhari is the only former President produced by the APC.
“We came and saw him in good health. We fraternised with him; we stayed with him and are ready to go back to our various businesses.
“We met with him and he is well pleased with our party. He expressed surprise about our visit. We are happy and thankful to Almighty God because we met him in good health. He is our father in politics. He is well pleased with our party and all of us, his children.
“He (Buhari) is well pleased with our visit. Members of our forum are pleased with him. We met him in good health because you know that our party, APC, is the largest party in Africa and is the ruling party. The only party with 21 Governors. The party is strong, and we will continue to work hard to make it stronger.”
Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State praised Buhari for supporting President Bola Tinubu and the APC.
“We are here along with other APC governors to visit former President Muhammadu Buhari. We are happy with the way former President Buhari is supporting our party and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Sani said.
