The northern governors elected on the APC platform had during the party’s presidential primary held on June 8 ceded the presidency to the South and directed other presidential aspirants from the region to step down from the race.

Fani-Kayode wrote: “To those who believe that @MBuhari & the Northern Governors & leaders in @OfficialAPCNg are involved in a conspiracy to ensure that @atiku wins next year’s election and that they will betray @officialABAT and ensure that he loses, I say the following: no such conspiracy exists.”
