The All Progressives Congress governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has outlined the rationale for the governors’ decision to back Bola Tinubu as the party’s flag bearer.
El-Rufai clarified that Northern APC governors chose to back Tinubu in order to uphold Nigeria’s unity, justice, and fairness.
He revealed this in Kaduna at a town hall gathering with several Northern Christian organizations.
El-Rufai claimed that Tinubu’s selection as governor of Lagos State was the result of the Northern governors’ preference for him.
According to El-Rufai: “In the spirit of unity, fairness and justice in the country, after President Buhari’s tenure, it is fair that the Presidency should go to the South.
“And we converged in Katsina Lodge before Governor Aminu Bello Masari said that among all the presidential candidates, we should go for Ahmed Tinubu because of his track records while he was governor of Lagos.”
