At the end of the meeting, the Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima of the ANPP read a communiqué to journalists saying the governors reviewed the situation in the country, and then agreed that dethroning the PDP was critical to rescuing Nigeria from anarchy and underdevelopment.

Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha of APGA told our reporter that  the planned merger had become necessary to save the country from being turned into a one-party state and to make Nigeria a better nation.

 The host governor, Babatunde Fashola of ACN said the meeting was about making Nigeria a better place. “I am convinced here that the full weight of ten of us governors and many more who unfortunately could not make it today is a much more stronger force and the underlying reason is clearly how to make this place a better place,” he was quoted as saying.

The question on everyone’s lips since this news started trending is – Who is going to be the Presidential candidate of the merged parties?
