Your Recommendation Not Binding On Me – Yahaya Bello Tells Northern APC Governors

Kogi State governor and presidential aspirant of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Yahaya Bello on Sunday night said the recommendation by 10 Northern governors calling for a power rotation to the South is not binding on him.
