Kogi State governor and All Progressive Congress, APC, presidential aspirant, Yahaya Bello, on Monday, reportedly stormed out of a governor’s meeting over the choice of the party’s presidential candidate, in Abuja, on Monday.
AbaCityBlog reported the Senate President Ahmed Lawan has been announced as the All Progressive Congress, APC, consensus presidential aspirant by the national chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu.
Adamu made the announcement at the meeting of National Working Committee (NWC) on Monday in Abuja.
Adamu told the National Working Committee that he arrived at the choice of Lawan after consultation with President Buhari.
However, the NWC members kicked against the decision, insisting that other aspirants must be given a level playing ground to compete.
Also, Adamu’s adoption of Lawan as consensus candidate is against the position of 11 APC northern Governors, who endorsed that power must shift to the South after President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure.
Watch the video of Bello as he angrily storms out of the meeting.
