Outgoing governors of Ogun and Borno States, Ibukunle Amosun, and, Hashim Shettima, both of whom are also senators-elect had long conversation on Tuesday during the orientation programme for new lawmakers.
The two governors were said to have excused themselves from the orientation venue in Abuja and had a discussion for a long time.
It was learnt that their long talk was connected with the issue of the Senate presidency.
Amosun
had on Monday refused to comment on insinuations that serving and
former governors were plotting to install the 9th Senate President.
Hi
meeting with Shettima on Tuesday might be related with decision of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) to adopt a candidate for the position.
As
reported by PunchNG, their body language when they saw an aspirant to
the position, Senator Ali Ndume, also fuelled the suspicion as two
governors also engaged the former senate leader in a brief discussion
before resuming their talks.
Recall that Ndume is from the same state with Shettima.
Upon
returning to the orientation venue, Ndume was sighted having
conversations with former governor Gabriel Suswan, who is also a
senator- elect from Benue State; Isah Jibrin from Kogi State; and Boma
Mohammed from Yobe State.
