Abdullahi Sule, Governor of Nasarawa State, has stated that the governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the North will not oppose President-Elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s choice of leadership for the 10th National Assembly.
The governor stated that the Northern leaders are devoted party members who want Tinubu’s administration to succeed.
Sule made the remarks while visiting the Nasarawa Governor’s Lodge in Abuja with the APC’s nominees for Speaker and Deputy Speaker, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen and Hon. Benjamin Kalu.
The Governor revealed that he has preferred candidates for the leadership of his Assembly, and no one can argue with him on that.
Going against the President-elect’s and the APC’s choice, he says, could cause problems for the administration.
He said;
If people hear that we’re disagreeing with the president-elect, they will laugh at us. We won’t disagree with him.
We cannot in any way fight the choice of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We cannot in any way fight the choice of our party.
we’ll sit down with him and ask him what is there for us in the North Central. I’m a Governor, and when I indicate interest in who becomes the Speaker in my state, nobody argues with me.
