Gaya said: “We have Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Bola Tinubu, it comes down to the South-West. I’m aware that a few aspirants have stepped down for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. They are Ken Nnamani and two others. I think that will be announced later.

“Whatever the number the party decides; it is up for because the people need to come and address the party members and tell them if they are stepping down, why they are stepping down, and for who. If they are not stepping down, let them tell Nigerians what they intend to do to improve the situation in the governance of Nigeria.”
