Addressing journalists in Abuja, on Tuesday, the former Rivers State governor said the APC considers the former Vice President and members of his party as colleagues and would want them to work with Buhari.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI told my colleagues that it is only those who fail elections that gather for meetings, while the winners just gather to pop champagne and drink to their victory.<\/p>\n
