The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), Tuesday, met behind closed doors with governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Although the governors declined to speak with the media after the meeting, it is believed to be in connection with last-minute hunting for a running mate for the party’s standard-bearer, Bola Tinubu.
The Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State, led the governors to the meeting.
Since he emerged last Wednesday, Tinubu had been under pressure to produce a running mate.
The APC presidential flag bearer has been consulting various party stakeholders with the likelihood of a Muslim/Muslim ticket.
