Gov. Sule says Northern APC governors strongly behind Tinubu

By David Odama

LAFIA –Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has dismissed claims on social media that 11 governors under the the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), are secretly meeting with the presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Sule stated this when he met with the state party officials, members of his campaign council, as well as elected and appointed government officials, at the Government House.

The Governor described the claim as not only untrue by the antics of the opposition and those he referred to as parasites in government, who he said are bent on painting the governors black in their bid to curry favour from Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu.

According to governor Sule, there is no reason for any APC governor from the North to want to meet with Atiku, considering the fact that, it was the same Northern APC governors that stood firm in order for the seat of the president to return to the South, which paved the way for the emergence of Tinubu.

“Nobody is presently under pressure to ensure that Tinubu wins the presidential election more than the Northern APC governors.

“These lies are coming from two categories of people. One is the opposition that is doing everything possible to distract us, because nobody wants Asiwaju to win this election more than the APC governors from the North.” Sule stated

“After Baba held this office for eight years, with the help of the South, if today we say we still want to hold on to the position, the world will not respect Northerners. And that was our only reason. And not everybody was with us on this page but God so kind, we had a President who listen and he listened to us and of course we succeeded and Asiwaju takes the position,” he stated.

The Governor added that, the second category of people propagating the falsehood are those he referred to as parasites in government, who are seeking to curry favour from Tinubu by painting the governors black.

“They are people that have never lived without government, they can’t survive without government and they want to be relevant in every government. So they want to make Tinubu now look like they are the nice people and the governors are the bad people. The governors that fought for him to be there,” he stated.

The Nasarawa state governor urged the presidential candidate of the APC, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, to be wary of those propagating the falsehood

“I keep telling Asiwaju and I will continue to tell him, nobody amongst these parasites understands Atiku more than you. If any Governor is meeting Atiku privately in his house, you Asiwaju should know better.

Don’t listen to them and don’t allow yourself to be carried away. If anybody wants you to win this election, it’s the APC Northern governors,” Sule declared.
