President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday met with governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to discuss the choice of running mate for the party’s presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
The meeting was held at the Presidential Villa Abuja.
The governors were led by Kebbi State Governor Atiku Bagudu and chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF).
The meeting was attended by Chief of staff to the President Ibrahim Gambari, Governors of Kaduna and Borno states Nasir el-Rufai and Babagana Zulum, among others.
Last week, the Bola Tinubu campaign organisation said the APC governors are at liberty to pick a running mate for Tinubu.
Bayo Onanuga, spokesman of the campaign organisation, said Tinubu’s running mate can come from any geo-political zone and religion.
“The vice-president can come from any region and religion. But the PGF is at liberty to pick. Up till now, we are all aware that Atiku has not chosen a VP,” Onanuga had said.
