The Governors of the All Progressives Congress, APC have backed the candidacy of Senate Leader, Ahmad Lawan and Leader of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila for the ninth National Assembly leadership.
The Governors under the aegis of the Progressives Governors Forum took the decision at a closed door meeting in Abuja.
Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State and Chairman of the Forum while briefing newsmen at the end of meeting, said the governors took the decision in compliance with the directive of the party’s national leadership.
