Buhari, S/South governors meet in Aso Rock

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari In Tuesday met with some Governors from the South-South geopolitical zone over some undisclosed issues.

In the meeting which took place in his office at the presidential villa, Abuja, were Governors Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Ifeanyi Okowa (Delta), Udom Emmanuel (Cross River) and Henry Dickson (Bayelsa), all members of the main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Upon emerging from the meeting, a reticent Bayelsa Governor told State House correspondents that it was over issues that concerned the country and the individual states of the Governors.

He refused to give details when pressed but only added that Buhari had agreed to look into the matters that are raised in any way possible.

Dickson was also keen to detach the meeting from any political affiliation as he said that it had nothing to do with political parties.
