February 03, (THEWILL) – Governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), will meet with President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday.
The Presidential Campaign Council of the APC disclosed this on Thursday, in a statement.
According to the PCC, top on the agenda are fuel scarcity and scarcity of new naira notes.
The meeting is coming less than 48 hours after Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, alleged that “fifth columnists” in the Presidency were working against the success of the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Although the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, in a swift reaction, said President Buhari is focused on ensuring a free, fair and credible elections and not to favour or cause any candidate, irrespective of party affiliation, to be at a disadvantage.
The PCC, however, said that the issues “on the agenda of the governors are issues of the nationwide fuel scarcity and the new Naira notes that have caused social and economic stress for Nigerians, especially small businesses, who rely on daily cash transactions.”
