March 28 Election: 7 PDP Governors In Private Meeting With APC For Buhari, Says Okorocha

Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha says that seven governors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are in private meeting with the leadership of the All Progressive Congress, APC, to garner support for the emergence of General Muhammadu Buhari as the next president of the country.

Okorocha spoke at the APC Rally in Mile 2 area of Lagos, Southwest Nigeria on Monday where thousands of party faithful throng to show support for Buhari and Akinwunmi Ambode as Governor of Lagos State.

He said the seven PDP governors were already in Lagos to hold a private meeting with the APC, but he did not disclose the identity of the governors.“General Muhammadu Buhari’s (GMB) victory has been sealed and delivered. yesterday about seven governors who are not APC are coming to hold meeting with us privately.

“There is fear in the country. And the fear was that they know that GMB is a good man and he will win. And they know that once INEC announces GMB as the winner of the presidential election, all the bad people who are embezzling the country’s fund will leave the country at night,pm news reports.

“The fear of Buhari is the beginning of stoppage of corruption. Do you know that before in this country, Nigerians do urinate on the road? But when Buhari assumed power in 1983, it all stopped. And he also stopped corruption,” he stated.Okorocha also said the PDP is already a dead party, saying that the party died immediately APC was formed. “We scheduled the burial of the party for February 14th but they postponed the burial to March 28. We are waiting patiently to bury the party forever. But let me tell you that you can change the date of burial but you cannot change the burial. It must take place. May the soul of PDP rest in peace,” he said.

“The worst thing that can happen to any nation is to have a bad government. And the worst thing that can happen to any family is to have a bad father. Today, it is obvious that PDP is a bad government. And we thank God that we came together to change the bad government. And the change we came together for has started.
