A former member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has said that 14 governors are lining up behind the presidential ambition of National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to win the presidential ticket of the ruling party.
Jibrin, who is the Director-General of Bola Tinubu Support Group Council, boasted that 26 APC state chairmen had also confirmed their loyalty to Tinubu.
He also said four other governors were in talks to join the presidential train.
He revealed these on his Twitter handle on Friday.
The Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of the party inaugurated state chairmen in 34 states, on Thursday.
Jibrin was however silent on who among the inaugurated chairmen that were backing Tinubu.
Meanwhile, the Yemi Osinbajo for President Support Group has said God is with their principal in his quest to emerge as the next president of the country.
They also said some unnamed governors, ministers, traditional rulers were queuing behind the former Commissioner for Justice in Lagos State, but said they would not disclose their identities.
The Convener and National Coordinator of the group, Ben Akinbobola, who spoke with The PUNCH,said: “The Osinbajo for President project is a divine one. God is with us and there are others like governors, ministers, traditional rulers, and members of the National Assembly who are with us. When the time comes, they will on their own, come out and speak. We are not boasters, but realists.”
