APC, PDP governors' deal for 2023

Oshiomhole went ahead to speak on how some Nigerian governors across party lines agreed in a meeting held in Asaba, Delta state capital, that a southerner should emerge as the next president.

However, according to Oshiomhole, some of the governors reneged on their agreement ahead of the 2023 polls.

His words:

“They voluntarily decided to meet across party divide, PDP and APC governors. They met in Asaba and they were hosted and they had dinner,” he said.
“They might have had champagne, but the takeaway that was communicated to us was they are united on one issue on where the next president should come from.
“It is an agreement. You are expected to obey your agreement. Me, I’ll stand by my agreement.”
