Northern governors didn’t push for power shift to South because of Tinubu – Lalong

The Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, said on Saturday the All Progressives Governors (APC) governors in the North did not push for a power shift to the South because of the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Northern governors had during the APC presidential primary in June last year directed all presidential aspirants from the region to step down for their Southern counterparts in line with Nigerians’ aspiration for power shift to the region after the eight years rule of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Tinubu eventually won the party’s presidential ticket after he defeated the former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, and a few others in the primary election held at Eagle Square, Abuja.
