Femi Fani-Kayode, the former Minister of Aviation and a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has explained why he is backing a Northern candidate.
Fani-Kayode is one of the arrowheads of Governor Yahaya Bello’s presidential campaign team, according to Anaedoonline.ng.

“There are two zones in the North that have not produced a democratically-elected President. The North-Central has NEVER done so and the North-East produced a Prime Minister 62 years ago who was unable to finish his tenure because he was killed.”
