Daily Trust gathered that three South South governors, Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Ifeanyi Okowa (Delta) and Udom Emmanuel (Akwa Ibom), were recommended by the committee.
Those at the meeting which is being chaired by the Deputy National North Ambassador Umaru Damagun are Governors Samuel Ortom (Benue), Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto), Bala Mohammed (Bauchi).
Others are former governors Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Liyel Imoke (Cross Rivers) Olusegun Mimiko (Ondo) and the minority leader of the House of Representatives, Ndudi Elumelu.
www.bigpenngr.com had reported that barring any last minute circumstances, Governor Okowa is likely to clinch the vice president slot but unconfirmed report appears as if the pendulum have swung the way of Governor Wike who came second to Atiku at the presidential primary.
