n“Idris, the interview is about presidency. I didn’t buy form for vice president. If you want to interview a vice president, I can send them in for you”.
nSpeaking on the issue of consensus candidacy within the party, Amaechi maintained that any such decision must come through collective agreement among stakeholders.
