The development has stalled what looked like a major political shift.
The issue arose during discussions involving the governor’s allies in the Peoples Democratic Party and APC stakeholders.
Mohammed’s camp pushed for a 60–40 sharing formula in favour of his structure. APC leaders rejected the demand, leading to a deadlock.
