Lawan’s consensus: We are grieving but have not forgotten that Power MUST shift to the south – Akeredolu

Governor of Ondo state, Rotimi Akeredolu has reacted to the decision to make Senate President Ahmed Lawan the Consensus candidate of the ruling all Progressives Congress (APC). He maintained his stance that power must shift to the South.

According to Akeredolu in a statement he personally signed, Abdullahi Adamu “is on a frolic of his own.”

The governor, who had returned from Abuja to the State on Sunday following an attack at Saint Francis Catholic Church, Owo, said there was no going back on the earlier decision that power should return to the south.

“The speculation is rife that the Chairman took a flight of fancy and decided to make a pronouncement beyond his competence.

“Let it be known that the Chairman or anyone who holds a contrary opinion does so at a personal level. He is at best embarking on a frolic which reasonable people will consider dangerous.

“We are grieving but have not forgotten that Power MUST shift to the south. On this we stand,” he said.
