According to Adamu, who spoke before the meeting went into closed session, he summoned the APC Governors to have an objective interaction with them, with a view to understanding where and how things stand, regarding the cashless and naira redesign policy.
“You will recall the recent developments that have necessitated the need for this invitation. We do not want to sit in judgment of anybody in regard to where we are today in the country as it affects our great party.
“I thought the best thing to do is to get all those who are holding forth in their respective positions and who were elected on the platform of the party to get together and have some interaction so that we can have a better understanding of what situation we are in.
“That is the essence of this invitation. And it is my pleasure to welcome you most sincerely to this interaction”, Adamu said.
Speaking also, chairman of APC Governors Forum (PGF), Atiku Abubakar Bagudu, said the governors and the party are one and the same.
“Once the chairman spoke, the governors and the party are one and the same. And I am very proud about the conduct of our campaign by our presidential candidate.
“Director General of the campaign and indeed, governors and the candidate across the country have been doing a tremendous job of mobilizing the Nigerian populace and we are very, very impressed with the support of the majority of Nigeria.”
He said “I am sure you are quite aware of the fact that a meeting comprising of APC governors was held today and the leadership of the NWC of our great party was summon for this afternoon and we had discussion and at the end of the discussion, we have resolved as follows, and this resolution is without prejudice or whatsoever to the case that is lying at the Supreme Court at this point in time. This has to do with the issue of currency redesign.
“We note very seriously that the programme and its implementation is causing tremendous difficulties to the people of Nigeria and to the national economy.
