The source said, “During Thursday meeting, some APC governors told Tinubu not to dabble into affairs of Senate.

Further talking, he said Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, also agreed that he would not dabble into the politics of the National Assembly beyond reasonable limit, but, he appealed to the governors to work in synergy with the National leadership of the All Progressives Congress, inorder to put things in proper shape, regarding the choice of principal officers of the National Assembly.
