Presidential primaries: APC governors prune down proposed aspirants to three

All Progressives Congress( APC) governors have cut down the list of proposed presidential aspirants to three. The Governors had initially proposed a five-man list of aspirants to President Muhammadu Buhari to consider for consensus.

Amongst the names they earlier suggested to President Buhari were Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; Rotimi Amaechi; Governor Kayode Fayemi and Governor Dave Umahi. However, the Nation reports that the governors have further pruned the list to three aspirants; Tinubu, Osibanjo and Amaechi.

The proposal is however not a binding decision but a suggestion to President Buhari who requested for their assistance. Other aspirants, particularly Kayode Fayemi and Yahaya Bello, are kicking against the selection, stating that they are still in the race.
