Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) chairman and Kebbi State Governor, Alhaji Atiku Bagudu says he and his colleagues have resolved to support whoever President Muhammadu Buhari endorses for the party’s national chairmanship position.
Speaking with journalists shortly after the governors’ meeting with Buhari at the Presidential Villa on Wednesday, Bagudu said Buhari’s choice for all positions would be respected.
Bagudu said, “Mr. The President has always urged consensus for all positions because consensus is in accordance with the democratic tenets, once you have leaders who are established, who are working towards the same goal,” he said.
“We might have our individual differences but on the principle of ensuring that we get leadership that will hit the ground running, we are united. And to that extent, we will support any process that will lead to consensus and the emergence of leaders without the need for election.
“Today, we all briefed Mr. President and included on the issue of distributing political party offices to the respective zones and our support for Mr. President’s endorsement of the candidate for the national chairman of the party.”
