The president’s delegation to the West African country comprised APC national leader, Chief Bola Tinubu, and some state governors. Some state governors have also picked up the gaunflet by pushing harder in their bid to sell the candidature of president Buhari, despite the schism in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). In championing the cause that the president retains his seat in Aso Rock in 2019, the state chief executives, especially the seven wise APC governors must be envisaging the accruing benefits. Indeed, the camp is believed to have appointed the former Rivers State governor and Minister of Transport, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, as the Director-General of the campaign, while several APC arrow-heads such as Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun; former Lagos State governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola; former Anambra State governor, Senator Chris Ngige and countless others, are generals in the president’s army of supporters. Another governor on the endorsement ship is the Plateau State governor, Mr Simon Lalong.
