Although too early to say. What if all these has been planned by Mr President. Let's take a look.

1. The President clearly stated he had a preferred candidate.

2. He kept the candidate to himself up till this moment.

3. He kept calling for stakeholders meeting and putting it to them to streamline the aspirants.

4. From double digits of North and South, then to 5 Southerners, then to 3, now whether confirmed or unconfirmed to 2 aspirants.

5. We saw the critical role BAT and PYO played in PMB re-election.

6. Now we know it is between BAT and PYO which I believe has been the President plan before now but he doesn't want to solely call the shot rather gave the Governors the leeway to decide.

7. There is high tendency the President will throw his weight behind PYO; for obvious reasons "continuity and pseudo-control however he knows that imposing a candidate might cause ruffles. He wants the party to go to the Polls in one house.

8. Multiple aspirants squander votes paving way for the "Most Popular or Most Influential" to win by margin.

9. Streamlining aspirants will help mop up votes for his preferred candidate and most likely not the most popular candidate.

10. If at the end of the day it plays out as highlighted above; then my respect for PMB just got another level.

Dreamer!
Dream on

It is NOT for the Northern Governors to singlehandedly ZONE or DETERMINE the Presidential candidate of our party. It is for the President, the Nat. Chairman, the NWC & the delegates to decide. A challenge to the authority of the Chairman & supremacy of the party is unacceptable.
