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.

Still, aspirants such as Fayemi and Governor Yahaya Bello have kicked, insisting that they are still in the race.

Bello declared after his meeting with Buhari that it was only the President who could prevail on him to withdraw.
