The battle for the APC presidential ticket will be the most competitive one since the 1993 one between Babagana Kingibe and MKO Abiola in the then SDP.

We have received news from TheCable that 12 APC governors have decided to settle for Muhammadu Buhari, but Atiku isn't giving up - he's directly reaching out to delegates.

The governors on Buhari's side are: Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara), Ibrahim Geidam (Yobe), Kashim Shettima (Borno), Tanko Al-Makura (Nasarawa), Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara), Babatunde Fashola (Lagos), Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo), Adams Oshiomhole (Edo), Rauf Aregbesola (Osun), Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto) and Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers).

The meeting happened in Adeola Odeku, Victoria Island.

We also read that Kwankwaso has stepped down for Buhari, although he will appear - with contest - at the convention.

Atiku's hope is in the fact that APC governors control only 14 states and the remaining 22 may still be available for him.

The Cable says Atiku is now looking into the following states: Adamawa, Sokoto, Kebbi, Niger, Benue, Plateau, Bauchi, Jigawa, Taraba, Yobe, Delta, Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, Ekiti and Ondo ─ as well as the FCT.
