Fani-Kayode said:
''More bridge-building, cross-fertilisation of ideas & discussions about how to move our country forward last night with Governor Mai Buni of Yobe state (who is the National Chairman of APC), Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state, Sen. Grace Bent of Adamawa state and yours truly.
Great discussions into the early hours of the morning. Fruitful and productive. God bless Nigeria.''
This is not the first time the former minister will be having a meeting with APC members. Back in February 2021, he had a similar meeting that fueled rumours that he had defected to the APC.
But he denied defecting to the ruling party.
Meanwhile, many Nigerian governors and prominent politicians even from the northern part of the country have favoured the agitation for the south to produce the next president come 2023.
One of those who made the call again recently was the governor of Katsina, Aminu Masari, The Cable reports.
The governor said it will be fair for a president of southern origin to emerge after President Muhammadu Buhari's administration comes to end.
