The northern governors who have zoned presidency to the south have met some stiff resistance from some northern aspirants who claimed that they were not carried along.

Governor Yahaya Bello is one of such aspirant who said he was not informed before the northern governors issued a signed statement.

Others Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe state; Babagana Zulum of Borno state; Simon Lalong of Plateau state; Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi state and Mai Mala Buni of Yobe state.
