Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum has disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari would decide the next All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate.
Zulum, who spoke in Maiduguri, the State capital on Friday when he played host to members of the Progressive Consolidation Group (PCG) led by their chairman, Dr Aliyu Rabiu Kurfias, noted that Buhari would decide the ruling party’s presidential candidate because he is the leader of the ruling party.
The group visited the governor to promote the presidential ambition of the vice president, Yemi Osinbajo.
According to Zulum: “Borno State will work with the party’s hierarchy, members of the National Assembly and leaders at ward and State levels to ensure the actualization of decisions to be made by President Muhammadu Buhari who is the party’s de facto leader.
“I am solidly behind initiatives aimed towards enhancing the unity of our party and progress of Nigeria.
“At this crucial time, no one, and nothing, will prevent the party from moving in unison.
“We have to identify the right individuals to lead the nation and the task requires governors, party hierarchy and the president working in concert.
