He said: “If Goodluck Jonathan can come into the primaries and contest in a competitive primaries and he wins, we all will support him.”

He also insisted that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is no longer a force in national politics.
“The PDP no longer the force it once was and no longer has the drive, the PDP today has become a mere vehicle to satisfy ethnic desires.
