Party leaders were said to have made frantic efforts for the key aspirants to put forward a united front in the face of imminent possibility of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers clinching the ticket.
“A lot of them don’t believe Wike can win the general election but as it is, it is almost clear that he can coast to victory if the northern candidates didn’t close their ranks,” said a source told The Conclave.
