“We are still screening the aspirants, 15 had already bought their nomination forms and returned while some of them have been cleared to contest the governorship election.

“Some people are alleging that the party has a consensus candidate already, but I am telling you right now that there is nothing like that, everybody must go to the field to face the members,” Emeakayi said.
