2 Min Read

The governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have communicated in writing their complaints to President Muhammadu Buhari on the list of 46 non-career ambassadorial nominees recently forwarded to the Senate for approval.

The governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom disclosed this to State House correspondents yesterday, shortly after a closed-door meeting with President Buhari.

The APC governors had presented their grievances to the president at a meeting last Monday during which he asked them to put their complaints in writing.

Ortom hinted yesterday that they had written to the president on the issue.

The governor also confirmed that President Buhari was currently attending to their grievances.

He said, “it is the prerogative of Mr. President to do appointments, but where there is need, we always give support. We have written where we have reservations, and it is being attended to.”

It will be recalled that the governors were led to the meeting by the Chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum who is also the governor of Imo State, Chief Rochas Okorocha on the 24th of October in the villa.

Some governors at the meeting included those of Ogun, Kogi, Kaduna, Edo, Zamfara, Benue, Sokoto and Kano among others.

Some state governors including Lagos and Nassarawa were represented by their deputies.
