President Muhammadu Buhari is currently meeting with a delegation of South-East All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders at the Council Chambers, in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The leaders were believed to have called on the President on a courtesy call.

The delegation is led by Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu

The delegation included serving National Assembly members, Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, who is being represented by his deputy, Eze Madumere, former governors, former ministers, party leaders, among others.

Speaking after the meeting, Onu said: “The APC leadership in the South East met on December 31 last year and endorsed the President for a second term.

“We have come today to reaffirm that and to assure Mr. President that the party is working very hard to win future elections.”

The minister said Buhari was happy especially considering the calibre of members of the delegation.

He added, “He was very happy because you can see the calibre of people in this delegation, a very high-powered delegation.

“We have former leaders of the National Assembly at the highest level, Senate President, Speaker, House of Representatives, former heads of government at the state level, one governor or represented by the deputy governor because the governor is out of the country, all the ministers from the South East, serving members in the National Assembly both in the Senate and House of Representatives, former members of the National Assembly and very important members in the party.

“We have our National Vice Chairman in the South East, members of the National Working Committee and National Executive Committee all present.

“So the President was very happy that such a delegation thought it fit to come and visit him.”
