Wilberforce Alaku, the National President of ECDA, disclosed this to newsmen on Thursday at the palace of Aren Eggon in Nasarawa-Eggon Local Government area of Nasarawa State.
“It is not my decision, but unanimous decision of the National Representative Council, NRC, of ECDA having received the report of a committee set up on the issue.

He listed the other aspirants to include Emmanuel Ombugadu of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Abdullahi Agibi of Labour Party, LP, and Matthew Ombugaku of Rebuild Nigeria Party, RNP.
