ABUJA- Ahead of the Presidential primaries of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP governors of the 36 states are desirous of producing the President in the 2023 poll, Sunday Vanguard gathered at the weekend.

The decision of the governors was reportedly agreed upon at the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, NGF, with an understanding that Presidential candidates of the two major parties be picked from among the governors.

Sources within the NGF hinted at the weekend that the state governors had reached a consensus that one of them, regardless of the party, should emerge as the next President of the country, following their insistence that state governors possess the knowledge and experience to salvage the country.

Sunday Vanguard gathered that the development is partly the reason governors are bent on controlling party structures in their respective states.

“I can tell you that the governors of the 36 states have reached a consensus that one of them should emerge as the next President of the country.

The governors have been meeting and consulting on producing the Presidential candidates of both the APC and the PDP and the consultations have reached a very advanced level. In a matter of days, the governors will make a formal declaration in this direction”, an NGF source said.

It was learnt that this is the main reason the state governors in the APC are insisting on retaining the control of the APC’s Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) ahead of the party’s National Executive (NEC) meeting next Thursday in preparation for the National Convention later in the month.

In the opposition PDP, the governors are said to have intensified consultations among party leaders ahead of the PDP national caucus meeting scheduled for Monday in Abuja as well as the Party’s NEC meeting on Tuesday.

The PDP is expected to reach important decisions, including zoning as well as its schedule of activities and guidelines for the 2023 general elections at the two crucial meetings.

The source in the NGF however added that following the decision, the governors may have to support any party that takes its candidate from their forum, in the likely event that one of the political parties picks its candidate that is not a governor.

The governors are expected to make formal presentations to their parties ahead of the Presidential primaries.

My country.. waiting for Tinubu/ Atiku failure

Fayemi/Wike comes to mind

As long as Tinubu's ambition is buried, no wahala, anyone else can be president.

Majority of Apc governors are behind Asiwaju Tinubu.

na wike dey organise all this one, he can only threaten PDP with this

As for apc our own progressive governor chairman bagudu is with buhari and buni

Nobody wan dey the loosing team

See where tilumbu plan ended the minority apc clowns like akeredolu, they were defeated even in buni absence

Traditionally that’s the procedure .. might not work out this time.

Buhari and his cabals made sure the Apc governors are duckings without mother’s .. so they depend on Villa for survival..

North is holding Pdp to ransom.. they governors are much loyal to the North.. based on Buhari effect.

Whichever way

North are comfortably in charge .. and fully in power.

Obj did same.

I don't know where you're getting all these fake infos from.

It's even more surprising that an opposition member is having sleepless night untop Asiwaju and Apc in General.

You should be more concerned about your dead party pdp.

As it's stand, President Muhammadu Buhari is behind Asiwaju, The number citizen of this great country is behind Asiwaju, Ahmed Lawan is Tinubu's boy, Femi Gbaja, Majority of Apc governors and stake holders are all solidly behind Jagaban.
1 or 2 rebels in the house got nothing on Tinubu.

At this juncture, you should know that no one can stop Tinubu.

Stop living in delusion.Ahmed Lawan is loyal to Buhari and no one else.

Even a day old baby today knows Tinubu stands no chance of producing the APC ticket

Ahmed Lawan is Loyal to Buhari, but Buhari is not against Asiwaju's ambition.

Get it.

The reason why governors want the mandate to name the next president is that, if given the ground for Buhari to produce his successor, nobody will vote the person, no matter how good the person is....

I believe Tinubu is the next president....

You can't stop a moving train, Asiwaju has the founder of Acn, one of the two parties that birthed the emergence of Apc is the second most important person in Nigerian political dispensation today...

It's the turn of ACN to produce the next GCFR, and believed the honest and intelligent president Muhammadu Buhari won't go against the 2014 gentlemen agreement.

It's left for you, a No body to continue the noise.
