“In the South East, it will obviously be an issue for us because of the sentiments that comes in. But I know that the PDP has stronghold in the southeast. And I know that the contest in the South East is between the PDP and LP obviously. We would wish he was not in the race but since he is in the race, it is going to be real competition between the two parties (PDP and LP, not the APC) in the southeast.”

Going further, he said that the controversy trailing his emergence as the party VP candidate will soon be a thing of the past as efforts are ongoing to resolve all issues.

“Secondly, I’m in touch with all my colleagues in South-South. As a party and family, we are all talking with Governor Wike. And the process is being led by our Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar because he is the leader. I believe that sooner than later we will be able to have the issue resolved.”
