The battle for the presidential ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) took another twist on Monday night as the national chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, shunned the party’s governors who were at the national secretariat to have a meeting with him.
The governors who had arrived at the “Buhari House” between 8:30pm and 8:45pm waited till 9:40pm before leaving the secretariat as the national chairman did not show up.
They, however, had a brief meeting with members of the National Working Committee who were led by the deputy national chairman, North, Senator Abubakar Kyari.
According to Vanguard, the governors however headed to Adamu’s residence at the presidential villa.
Some of the governors who were present at the meeting were Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti), Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Nasir el-Rufai (Kaduna), Simon Lalong (Plateau), Abubakar Bello (Niger) and Aminu Bello Masari (Katsina).
Others were Dave Umahi (Ebonyi), Abdullahi Sule (Nasarawa), Gboyega Oyetola (Osun), Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq (Kwara), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun) and others.
