A delegation of All Progressives Congress (APC) governors under the umbrella of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) paid a courtesy visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari at his residence in Kaduna on Monday.
The visit, according to the Chairman of the PGF and Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma, was a demonstration of unity and strength within the APC as Nigeria heads toward the 2027 general elections.
Speaking to journalists after their closed-door meeting with Buhari, Uzodinma emphasized that the APC remains Nigeria’s largest political party and is becoming even more stable and resilient.
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.
