Vanguard reports that the Imo state governor said the governors were happy with the way the administration has tackled the Boko Haram insurgency and the war against corruption.
He said: “We have come to reassure Mr President that the APC governors are solidly behind him, his fight against corruption; his fight against insurgents and all his laudable projects.
“We are concerned about the incessant happenings in the National Assembly and we have taken it upon ourselves to look into the matter, the crisis at the National Assembly.
“We are going to look into the matter because we need a strong, vibrant National Assembly to make things move fast in the country.”
He said in the area of the economy, the country has recorded some progress.
“There is a lot of improvement. You will recall that when oil was above 100 dollars, what the states are getting now is close to what they used to get when oil price was above 100 dollars.’’
According to him, this is a clear indication that the President Buhari-led administration was doing a lot to revive the economy.
“We are not yet there, but we are getting there. We appeal to Nigerians to be patient with this government because it means well about the welfare of our people.’’
He also said the criticism trailing the proposed visit of the governors to Germany as baseless.
“There is nothing like jamboree trip. We are going to Germany because we cannot do everything here without exchanging ideas.
