Northern APC Stakeholders Agreed On Power Shift – Ketso

A few hours to the presidential election, the deputy governor of Niger State, Alhaji Ahmed Mohammed Ketso has said there was gentleman agreement between the legacy parties of All Progressives Congress (APC) on zoning.

He said Northern stakeholders of the legacy parties and those of the Southern opposition parties merged to form the APC and agreed that there should be a zoning agreement.

Ketso who was then of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and now the state coordinator of the Tinubu-Shettima Grassroots Independent Campaign Council (ICC) made this disclosure at Mokwa local government APC stakeholders’ meeting.

He said the agreement was reached in Borgu, Niger State, adding that ICC will mobilise 632, 000 votes for the APC presidential candidate, Ahmed Bola Tinubu.

He added that the Northern APC critical stakeholders were honourable people and that they will honour that agreement without any ill feelings, saying that it was the reason some APC governors from the Northern states were committed to ensuring that the agreement was honoured.

“There was an agreement that after the tenure of the North, the South should produce the next president. They have given us Tinubu and we will work for his victory,” he said.
