”11 northern APC governors and I think 35 to 37 senators are quietly working for Atiku."

The PDP spokesman said it is the reason why the crowd allegedly kept responding with "Atiku" anytime they shouted "Nigeria" at APC presidential campaigns.

”If you noticed lately, at APC presidential campaigns, when they say Nigeria, the crowd will respond, saying Atiku. This is why in their last campaign in Kano on Wednesday, they stopped saying Nigeria because they know the crowd will definitely respond by saying Atiku," Bwala said.

Pressed to name some of the APC governors working for Atiku, he refused, saying

"Even my four-year-old son knows that you don’t reveal such information.”

In another report, Abdullahi Sule, the governor of Nasarawa state, has dismissed the claim that 11 northern APC governors were holding a secret meeting with Atiku.

The governor disclosed this during a meeting with the state party official, members of his campaign council, and elected and appointed government officials at the government house in Lafia on Thursday, January 5.

Sule said the "fake news" is the antics of the opposition and those that can be referred to as "parasites in government" who are bent on blackmailing the governor in order to get the favour of the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
