Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has explained the main reason northern governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) support the presidential candidate of the ruling party, Bola Tinubu, to ensure he becomes the next president of Nigeria.
The Governor said this at the Government House in Lafia, the state capital, while meeting with the State party officials, members of his campaign council, as well as elected and appointed government officials yesterday.
According to him, the Northern APC governors decided to queue behind Tinubu to ensure that power returns to the southern region after the eight-year tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said the governors made the move when they realised there were plans to retain the position in the North. According to him, power has to go to the South in order for northerners to be respected as people who believe in Nigeria.
Governor Sule also debunked the rumour that 11 Northern APC governors were secretly meeting with Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).
He said the APC governors in the North have no reason to meet Atiku after they insisted that power must shift to the South after President Buhari.
