Chairman of the Northern Governors’ Forum and Plateau state Governor Simon Lalong, while speaking to State House correspondents on the outcome of the meeting said Buhari insisted that he had not endorsed any of the 23 candidates aspiring to clinch the presidential ticket of the APC. He also added that the President confirmed to them that, contrary to insinuations in some quarters, he had not endorsed any of the 23 candidates, ahead of the party’s primary election on Tuesday.
Lalong stated that Buhari had, therefore, ordered that governors of APC controlled states should meet with the National Working Committee of the party, to fine tune modalities for the selection of the presidential flag bearer of APC.
Also, Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi state, who also spoke at the event, said the northern governors believed their support for power shift to the South is good for the unity of the nation, fairness and justice.
On his part, Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state explained that out of the 14 governors of APC states in Northern Nigeria, only one that of Kogi State, who is also an aspirant, disagreed with their position.
