Plateau State Governor and chairman of the Northern Governors’ Forum, Barr. Simon Lalong, has disclosed that northern governors of the APC supported power shift to the southern part of Nigeria in order to promote unity, peace and stability of the country.
He said the support was also within the spirit of fairness, equity and justice which the late Premier of the Northern Region, Sir Ahmadu Bello, stood for.
A statement issued in Jos by the director of press and public affairs, Dr. Makut Simon Macham, said Lalong made the disclosure while speaking at the 9th Annual Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Lecture on Leadership and Good Governance held in Lafia, Nasarawa State.
He said because the late Sardauna lived a life of accommodation, tolerance, justice and fairness, his legacies had endured long after his death and continued to inspire leadership in the region and country at large.
