It was also learnt that Atiku, who is the consensus candidate of the Northern Political Leaders Forum (NPLF), has made up his mind to choose a running mate from the South East.

Those being considered are ex-President of the Senate, Chief Ken Nnamani; a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria , Prof. Charles Soludo; ex-Minister of Information, Chief Emeka Chikelu, and Chief Nze Duru.
