Fani-Kayode tweeted: “It is not for the Northern Governors to singlehandedly zone or determine the Presidential candidate of our party.
“It is for the President, the National Chairman, the NWC & the delegates to decide.
“A challenge to the authority of the Chairman & supremacy of the party is unacceptable.”
ThisNigeria reported that Adamu had on Monday declared Senate President, Ahmed Lawan as the party’s consensus candidate.
