Outgoing governors of Ogun and
Borno States, Ibukunle Amosun, and, Hashim Shettima, both of whom are also
senators-elect had long conversation on Tuesday during the orientation
programme for new lawmakers.
The two governors were said to
have excused themselves from the orientation venue in Abuja and had a
discussion for a long time.
It was learnt that their long
talk was connected with the issue of the Senate presidency.
Amosun had on Monday refused to
comment on insinuations that serving and former governors were plotting to
install the 9th Senate President.
His meeting with Shettima on
Tuesday might be related with decision of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
to adopt a candidate for the position.
As reported by PunchNG, their
body language when they saw an aspirant to the position, Senator Ali Ndume, also
fuelled the suspicion as two governors also engaged the former senate leader in
a brief discussion before resuming their talks.
Recall that Ndume is from the
same state with Shettima.
Upon returning to the orientation
venue, Ndume was sighted having conversations with former governor Gabriel
Suswan, who is also a senator- elect from Benue State; Isah Jibrin from Kogi
State; and Boma Mohammed from Yobe State.
