However, a fresh update said the list has again been reduced to three aspirants with Tinubu, Osibanjo and Amaechi on the proposed list.
However, the proposal is not a binding decision but a mere suggestion to Buhari who has requested that the proposed names should be further reduced to have less stressful presidential primary.
