President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday said that he has no anointed candidate in the presidential primary elections of the All Progressives Congress, APC, slated for June 7, 2022.
The President also said he is in agreement with the position of the APC northern governors that power should be shifted to the southern part of the country in 2023.
This is as the APC Northern governors have disowned the Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello for opposing their position that power should go to south.
Briefing State House correspondents after a closed-door meeting with President Buhari at the presidential Villa, Abuja, Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum and governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong said that the President made it clear that he has no anointed candidate in the presidential primary.
He said that President Buhari directed the Progressive Governors Forum, PGF, to meet with the National Working Commuttee, NWC for more consultations on the consensus arrangement in the choice of the party’s candidate for the 2023 presidential elections.
The Plateau State Governor said the meeting with the NWC has been slated for 5pm Monday.
