“No, that’s not what we are planning. You see, I have learnt this thing because I have worked closely with the president when I was the minister of the FCT, when we came back in 2011 and formed a government.
“The president must be given the opportunity to choose his vice. I am not withdrawing because I want to prepare myself for the vice presidency.
“Of course, if it is within the sense of judgment of our party leaders and the presidential candidate to choose me, I’m ready, but certainly if I’m not given, I have said it to the public today, I’m ready to give whoever the party or the presidential candidate would emerge from the South to bring somebody if he is better than me,” Mohammed stated.
