According to Vanguard, the names of the two-term governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have been forwarded to the President-elect, Bola Tinubu.
An source who craved anonymity told the newspaper that the choice of el-Rufai as the SGF isr, however, being weighed with that of Ganduje, who has been a close ally of the president-elect.
It is understood that the positions of the SGF, Senate Presidency, and Speakership will be discussed during Monday’s closed-door meeting of the APC leadership and the party’s National Assembly members-elect at the State House in Abuja.
It was learned the allocation of the positions will be thoroughly discussed at the meeting in order to secure the commitment of everyone to form a common front before the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly in June.
