ABUJA – Governors and leaders from the Northern part of the country have dumped the idea of the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, standing for the 2023 presidency on the platform of All Progressive Congress, The Eagleonline reports
The position of the Governors and Leaders from the North was contained in a statement they issued on Saturday.

The Northern Governors and Leaders are pushing for a Southern presidential candidate for the party.
They argued that after eight years of President Muhammadu Buhari’s presidency, it should be the turn of the South.
