Northern governors elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have reiterated their stance on the zoning of the party’s presidential ticket to South.
The governors made this known shortly after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Monday.
The latest development is coming barely two days after the northern APC governors announced their decision to support power shift to the South after the end of the tenure of President Buhari.
The governors, who made the declaration via a statement, urged all presidential aspirants from the northern region of the country to step down from the 2023 presidential race.
The governors said the decision to support power shift to the South is in the best interest of the country.
The APC presidential primaries commenced today, June 6, and it is expected to come to a close on Wednesday, June 8.
The northern APC governors, who met with President Buhari on Monday, include Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi, Simon Lalong of Plateau, Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa, Aminu Masari of Katsina, and Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa.
