 The all progressives congress governors on Monday at a meeting with president, Muhammadu Buhari expressed their reservation over the manner the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, handled the selection of his running mate, Kashim Shettima.

Reports say it took the intervention of the president to pacify the governors and rally them to support the Tinubu-Shettima ticket when they visited his Daura home.

Sources at the private meeting between the President and the nine APC governors say although the APC candidate reserved the right to pick his running mate, they had not concluded their discussions with Tinubu before he went ahead to announce Shettima.

It had been reported north-west governors preferred the Kebbi state governor, Atiku Bagudu; or his Kaduna state counterpart governor, Nasir El-Rufai; because of the voting strength of the zone.
