press statement by his media office in Abuja, said the former Vice President would make his formal declaration at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja at 10 O’clock in the morning.

According to him, “Our focus now is how we win the primaries of the party. In doing so, we have to dread very carefully. The strategies for each state are different. I understand that some of you are national delegates of the party.
But what is important is to build the momentum in the party that will make our candidate emerge victorious and avoid being confrontational with other contestants. We should make sure that the party stands united during and after the contest for the presidential ticket.”
