An aide of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has disclosed why his boss was late in signing the resolution of All Progressives Party (APC) from the north and some other leaders from the region calling for power shift to the southern part of the country.
“The Governor could not immediately sign the resolution of the meeting because he was at his niece’s wedding held on Saturday June 4,2022 where he was the Chief Host,” Alhaji Bashir Adigun , Special Adviser, Political Communications to the governor said in a statement on Monday.
According to him, “We have been inundated with enquiries on whether our Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq supports the resolution of Northern leaders on Power Shift to Southern Nigeria.We like to state emphatically that the Governor was ab initio fully part of the meeting and resolution of the Northern leaders that the next President should come from Southern part of the country.
“The Governor could not immediately sign the resolution of the meeting because he was at his niece’s wedding held on Saturday June 4,2022 where he was the Chief Host .
Governor AbdulRazaq’s Northern colleagues were thus unable to wait for his physical signature on the resolution because they needed to send it to the President immediately. The final copy of resolution was however brought to him later and he became the 12th signatory to the resolution.
