While in London, the president met with the Interim National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Committee (CECC), Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State.

The president, at the end of the London meeting with Buni, called on Governors of the All progressives Congress (APC) to stop further utterances that lead to disunity ahead of the National Convention.

A statement by the President’s spokesman, Mr Femi Adesina, on Wednesday in Abuja, said the president made the call via a letter he personally signed, and addressed to Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State.

Bagudu is also the Chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum.
