Kogi Gov says he’ll support Buhari’s consensus candidate, but not bound by northern govs’ zoning to South
Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has pledged to support any presidential aspirant of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) that emerges through the consensus.
Governor said specifically he would back any candidate that President Muhammadu Buhari picks as consensus candidate.
He however said he was not favourably disposed to the recommendations of the northern governors on power shift to the South, saying it is not binding on him.
He bared his mind while appearing on Channels Television programme, Sunday Politics.
According to him, he has the support of 60 percent of the party’s delegates.
He also said he is not in a hurry to withdraw from the presidential race on account of the position of the northern governors.
“If it comes from President Buhari himself, I will one hundred percent support the person if I am not selected. If it is any other person, I will support the person because that is his wisdom. He knows better than me and he sees better than me,” he said.
