According to Okorocha, the President was delighted to receive the delegation and they spent more than an hour with him over lunch. He added that the President was very cheerful and has not lost any bit of his sense of humour.

Furthermore, he stated that it was very clear from the discussions that the President followed developments at home very closely.

Apart from developments within the states, he also asked the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, about the state of the railways.

Also according to Okorocha, when asked to react to all the negative things being said about him, the President laughed, describing such reports as lies.

The governor further stated that President Buhari was completely unperturbed by what he described as the cocktail of lies and instead, sent his best wishes to Nigerians.

Okorocha said the President assured Nigerians not to worry at all, adding that he would be back as soon as the doctors give him the green light.

“By our visit to London today, the merchants of lies have been put out of business and Nigerians will not buy the garbage they have been selling. All those who look up to fake news can find better use for their time,” Governor Okorocha stated.

Among the delegation were Governors Umaru Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa; Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna; Yahaya Bello of Kogi; and APC National Chairman, Chief John Oyegun.
