Northern governors of the All the Progressives Congress have said President Muhammadu Buhari, denied anointing any presidential candidate.
The president was said to make this known during a meeting with the northern governors on Monday.
Speaking on behalf of the governors, Simon Lalong of Plateau State, said the president clarified that he has no consensus candidate for now.
This is coming amidst reports that the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, was announced as the consensus candidate of the APC.
“We sat down in the last few days and took a decision and gave an advisory. While we were on our way to advise the president, part of our discussion leaked out.
“Mr Presidemt being a democrat insisted on listening to us. So, he granted us the opportunity today. Our meeting today is to reaffirm our position.
“We apologised to him that the statement was made by all of us.”
